Duque: Postponement of election in areas with COVID-19 surge a possibility

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III on Friday said it is possible to postpone elections in areas due to COVID-19 surge.

“Ngayon kung ang tanong possible ba magkaroon ng postponement, oo syempre possible pa rin kung talagang masyadong mataas ang sipa ng mga kaso sa mga piling lugar,” he said. Duque advised voters who will have symptoms on election day to stay at home to prevent spread of infection. Duque said that those who would have symptoms should be isolated and must coordinated with their respective local government units for proper protocols.

Sir Duque tan lang ba ang kaya ng utak mo. Ipahinto ang eleksyon na pwede naman ang f2f campaign naman po ang sanhi ng hawahan. Doctor ka alam mo dapat yun. Sa botohan bilang ang tao sa isang lugar.

Patigil nyo na mga rally! Parang awa. Nakakatakot yun crowd. Covid is waving!🥹 I hope yun mga nag attend eh may booster na rin. Ang tatapang nila mag attend ng rally na siksikan galore. 😅

sa area na talo si blengbong bigla may covid surge para di matuloy election.

Help us pray; is all we expect from you and not contribute problems to our lives. All you know as a doctor is vaccine. You don't even consider that God also made immune system
