According to the DOH, there are about 30 provinces in the country that have either few or no cases of the coronavirus disease or the spread of it is slow.The Luzon-wide ECQ was imposed last March 16 and it was supposed to be lifted by April 14. However, it was extended until April 30 as medical experts are yet to determine whether it was able to flatten the curve of COVID-19 cases.
While it is too early to tell whether the curve was flattened over a month that the ECQ has been enforced, Vergeire said the “doubling time” of the disease has slowed down, according to medical experts Before, it takes an average of three days for the number of cases to double, but now it takes five days, she said.
The DOH, however, is aiming for a 30-day doubling time, so that the number of cases could be accommodated and treated by hospitals in the country. So far, the Philippines has 6,599 confirmed COVID-19 cases, of which 654 have recovered while 437 have died.
DYGalvezINQ So malilift ba ang ECQ sa May 1? kaloka naman tong statement na ito. 🤔
DYGalvezINQ Hindi naman to dapat 'new normal' e... dapat naman lahat ganyan gnagawa kahit nung wala pang covid.
DYGalvezINQ Cough etiquette, wala dito nyan. Yung mga naka mask nga eh tatanggalin pa bago umubo o bumahing. Tapos wala talagang distancing kahit sa kalsada na walang tao. Talagang didikit pa sayo.
DYGalvezINQ And how are you going to enforce physical distancing in jeeps, bus and LRT/MRT? Just curious
DYGalvezINQ Lifting is not yet advisable. Maybe mid-may is more appropriate time. There is no guarantee there won’t be a second wave if early lifting is done.
DYGalvezINQ Wow! ECQ will be lifted by May 1? Hindi kaya paasa lang ito?
DYGalvezINQ Sure na ba sa MAY 1 baka paasa nnman 🤣
DYGalvezINQ Frequent Ligo siguro idagdag niyo narin. Nakamamatay po ang amoy ng kili-kili ng iba. Nga pala maam, baka gusto niyo muna i-address ang kakulangan ng tubig sa Maynila at sa mga karatig probinsya?
DYGalvezINQ Indeed .. dami kasing baboy dto khit noon pa sge lang ng ihi, dura at ubo kung san san
DYGalvezINQ That requires discipline. Discipline. We're not known for that.
