Senators have called on the government to again restrict the holding of mass gatherings and events as more cases of the highly-contagious Delta coronavirus variant are being detected in the Philippines.

In this file photo taken on April 21, 2020, a member of the Philippine National Police Special Action Forces uses a megaphone to remind shoppers to practice social distancing during a government imposed enhanced quarantine as a preventive measure against the COVID-19 novel coronavirus in Manila.

“Pwede naman pong GCQ ang ating classification pero maghigpit tayo sa mga mass gatherings ,” Sotto said. Senator Sherwin Gatchalian also shared the same view, saying that while it is “too early” to again place the areas of the country under the most stringent enhanced community quarantine or even modified ECQ, “the spread of the virus is definitely picking up.”

The Senate leader said policy-makers and health experts must be ready in the eventuality that a surge of Delta variant cases break out.
