DOH eyes slashing quarantine of fully-vaxxed health workers to just 7 days

Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said Tuesday that this is to ensure that more healthcare workers will be available to work in hospitals, as the country sees a surge in COVID-19 cases.

“Magpapalabas po tayo ng isang polisiya kung saan we will be shortening the quarantine period of close contacts who are fully vaccinated na healthcare workers para naman po hindi 14 na araw sila nawawala sa hospital,” she told ABS-CBN’s Teleradyo.

cgonzalesINQ 🤣🤣🤣 Mas maganda sana kung 'DOHgovph eyeing to distribute the 67B to all health workers'. 😂😂😂😂

cgonzalesINQ Para ibala na naman sa kanyon? wala talaga kayong pagpapahalaga sa buhay ng mga health care workers natin Ikaw kaya SecDuque ang iharap sa may Covid langhapin mo lang mga hininga nila isa-isa Tingnan lang natin!!!!

cgonzalesINQ Credible pa ba DOH? I mean COA report and all...and given the current health status of our country too?

cgonzalesINQ Based on what science?

cgonzalesINQ DOH.... spent too much time, efforts & resources..... but still cripple d Economy by requiring quarantine on vaccinated individuals..... grrrrrr

cgonzalesINQ As a frontliner I resent to be treated as cannon fodder against this pandemic. In the government's view I feel exploited and expendable which I believe is contrary to my family and the rest of the medical community.

cgonzalesINQ Naisip lang nila habang nagkkwentuhan sila or is this a science based decision? Sana science.

cgonzalesINQ Vaccinated

cgonzalesINQ di daw pwede mag rest.
