The lockdown in Luzon could have started earlier than mid-March, says Inter-Agency Task Force adviser Dr. Anthony Leachon.

“If I had my way, I would have the lockdown earlier, on the time of Wuhan lockdown in retrospect,” said Inter-Agency Task Force adviser Dr. Anthony Leachon in a virtual presser on Thursday.

He noted that this would have prevented travellers from mainland China to go outside of their country. Leachon is optimistic that the country is slowing down its cases of COVID-19 transmission, yet he said it is still too early to confirm that.“Some of the results are not real time because of the limitation of the RITM , and perhaps most of these results are backlog of the previous ones,” he said.Further, Leachon said that the government must not be complacent as other Asian countries like Singapore and Japan are experiencing a second wave of COVID-19 outbreak.

wow.. you think? no shit sherlock.. 👏👏👏

Baka kasi may ma offend daw kasi kaya ganun

But was the infrastructure ready?

Madali magngawa, mahirap gumawa... Kung nag lockdown tayo ng maaga, maaga din nawalan ng kabuhayan ang lahat... Di naman puede na di tayo lockdown sa panahon ngayon na kalat na pandemic. Imagine, kung January hanggang ngayon, baka nag iiyakan lalo kayo.

Stop complaining people., if u look at the chart Philippine’s is only at the 4K in numbers for covid-19,, this is really good., this is positive., I’m a Canadian and back home in Canada our numbers is up 20k almost and they don’t follow rules

Still ongoing response and already pointing fingers?

Hind sight is allways 20-20

Umiiyak na tao dahil sa lockdown saan lulugar ang gobyerno? Pag pinaaga EQH\\Lockdown MartialLaw pag walang kongkretong plano OutsDuterte? Saan lulugar? Mag dasal nalang tayo matapos na ang virus. Walang gamot walang plano SI LORD ANG SAGOT 🙏🏻

Dr. Leachon did you just wake up last week? Sayan ang binabayad sayo if you can only advise what should have happened in the past.

And everything starts to sink in...

Thats water under the bridge

Let’s go back way earlier...travel ban early pary of july would have done loads for difference..

The first death due to covid-19 in the country should have prompted the government to impose lock-downs and quarantines in the places he/she visited. Hindi sana lumaki ng ganito ang problema natin. 275B pesos worth of projects would not have been scrapped.

Y kailangan p pag usapan ang nakaraan andito n nga oh ano b maidudulot nyan n ksbutihan

sino ba kasi ung presidenteng nagsasabi na OA daw ung mga taong humihingi ng aksyon mula sa gobyerno tungkol sa covid19 paki-sigaw nga para sa mga walang ambag sa bayan at tambay sa tao kaya ang tatay level ay pang-digong lang

Pagmay uncertainty at hindi alam n sakit dapat lockdown agad para kahit papano local economy nagana p...hindi ung total shutdown

ALAM MO NAMAN ANG MGA PINOY,, PAG NANGYARI NA TSAKA MADAMING LALABAS NA IDEAS.., KUNG BAGA ay HULI na, eh pwede naman pala na sana mas maaga ang lockdown. wag ng magsisihan, KUng ang malalaking bansa nga hindi rin nila inasahan ang malaking epekto ng Covid. next time,

116 stranded Cebuano OFWs in Luzon appeal for chance to come home to Cebu116 stranded Cebuano OFWs in Luzon due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) measures are appealing that they may be allowed to come home. No comment si madam Gwen? Classic. I feel sad for them. Lisod ang malagyo sa pamilya. But in my opinion, cant they just stay there for the meantime? Can the province or city of Cebu extend help to them? Give them shelter and relief goods? They might be carriers... who knows what they will bring here.
