<br/><br/> I. ABSTRACT<br/><br/>Collaboration is often the only way to overcome challenges. The Forensic Community has a<br/>crucial role in addressing the crisis at the national and international levels when it comes to<br/>infectious disease outbreaks such as COVID-19. Much has been written and published on<br/>protocols for investigating deaths, infection control, risk mitigation, and management of the<br/>dead. This study addresses the extent to which a novel coronavirus, namely COVID-19) affects<br/>the Philippines and is mainly concerned with managing death and problems encountered by<br/>public health services. The COVID-19 pandemic is a disaster for the world in unforeseen ways,<br/>leaving no one prepared. Hostages feel the effect in several countries on all continents. The<br/>challenges of COVID-19 and the opportunity to implement preventive and control measures<br/>are exacerbated by the difficulties in performing forensic procedures, which continue to be a<br/>problem in many countries worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) announced in<br/>2019 that the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes Coronavirus Illness (COVID-19), an infectious<br/>disease swiftly spreading globally, with over 3 million confirmed cases.
