Cebu drivers call air purifier requirement a 'band-aid solution'

to prevent COVID-19 infection, saying it was a band-aid solution that will only burden drivers.

In a statement to media on Sunday, August 15, PISTON-Cebu said that the government should at least shoulder the expense of procuring personal air purifiers for drivers if they are truly bent on implementing the said policy.Pila ka buwan walay kita ang mga driver tungod sa lockdown ug sa mga bag-ong polisiya sa pampublikong transportasyon. Ang air purifier dugang lamang kini nga gasto sa amoang mga driver ug konduktorPersonal air purifiers retail for about P200 and above.

Perez said that what the people really need is a hastened mass vaccination program and swab testing instead of the new air purifier mandate.Ang kining air purifier usa ka band-aid solution lamang. Ang kinahanglan karon sa katawhan papaspasan ang libre ug luwas nga bakuna ug libreng swab test. Dapat pud pakusgan ang mass testing ug contact tracing, ug himuong libre ang pagpatambal sa mag-positive sa COVIDwill take effect on Monday, August 16.

This was mandated by Garcia’s memorandum to operators of public utility vehicles, which she signed on August 13. The Department of Health has yet to formally recommend the wearing of personal air purifiers to prevent COVID-19 infection.

Alam na this!

This is one of the dumbest ideas aside from face shields!!! 🤮

cebugovph is the Governor paying for this out of her own pocket or making taxpayer foot the bill?

Science kaai muna

That thing doesn’t work. So, why

It's a useless piece of garbage. Open one up and see for yourself.

Thats a SCAM!!! ENOUGH!!!

It didn't stop a mayor from catching covid now did it.

Testing how stupid and obedient people are. Sa dami ng politiko walang aalma

pulpol ang vismin politicians

Doesn't work. Period.

Kulang pa ba kita sa face shield? 😩😩

Might as well ask the party representative for jeepney drivers buy a Michael cinco gown for her wedding. Oh wait.

May pagkakaperahan na naman sila nyan parang face shield lang. I wonder sino kaya supplier nito at magkano ang kinikita ng government ng Cebu from this.

I wonder if there’s any proven/documented evidence that personal Air Purifiers are effective to combat Covid-19.

Gwen Garcia should give it for free to the drivers. It's not even scientifically proven that it works! Pathetic governor!

Is that even based on science? What’s the evidence that it works against covid-19?
