Metro Manila and its surrounding provinces Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal will be put under the enhanced community quarantine starting Monday, March 29 until Sunday, April 4 as announced by Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque on Saturday, March 27. “Tuloy na tuloy po ang vaccination kahit po mag quarantine po tayo ,” said DOH Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje in a radio interview on Sunday, March 28.
Meanwhile, Cabotaje said that majority of the 400,000 doses of Sinovac vaccines that arrived in the Philippines last March 24 will be distributed to areas under ECQ. This is to immediately protect the healthcare workers in those areas, she said. “Naka deploy na ang karamihan….Nagdecide dahil hotspot ngayon ang NCR plus bubble, medyo ico-concentrate natin yung pagbabakuna dito ,” said Cabotaje.
“So ang ginawa natin nagre-allocate tayo, 75 percent ng 400,000 of the vaccines pupunta sa NCR, Bulacan, tapos yung Region 4a: yung ating mga nasa bubble: Laguna, Cavite, Rizal ,” she added. Meanwhile, the 1,125,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines that first arrived in the country were already distributed in the different vaccination sites nationwide, said Cabotaje.
