An epidemiologist said Monday, April 26, that the National Capital Region (NCR) is not yet ready to revert back to general community quarantine (GCQ) status.

In a virtual Palace briefing, Dr. John Wong of Epimetrics Inc., bared indicators that will tell if the virus hotspot NCR can be considered “ready” for a more relaxed quarantine status.

“It tells us how well we’ve done in the past under MECQ, it doesn’t tell us how well we will do in the future under GCQ,” Wong said. To consider NCR ready for GCQ depends on how well people complying with masking and social distancing; how fast can the national government and local government unit identify people with COVID-19 symptoms and test, isolate, and quarantine them; and how well indoor businesses with crows observe 2-out-of-3 rule, such as ventilation, masking, and social distancing.

According to the Department of Health , over 1.3 million Filipinos have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

aba edi magbigay kyo ng ayuda sa mga hnd pa makabalik sa work! pinahinto ung pagtrabaho ng mga tao pero ung bayarin hindi pinahinto tuloy tuloy pa rin,ang mga mahihirap ang derektang apektado pero kayo mayayaman at patuloy na sumasahod kahit anong quarantine!

The president should make a rule that no one canadvise him to do something that harms others while they themselves aren’t personally harmed by their suggestions. For example, these epidemiologists aren’t suffering malnutrition from poverty like people are from the recommendations

These are people who ignore science & are advising the president improperly. First, the WHO & experts say lockdowns kill more people than they help. Those scientists are ignoring the deaths caused from malnutrition & stress related heart attacks/strokes/suicides.
