Health reform advocate and former National Task Force (NTF) against COVID-19 medical adviser Dr. Anthony “Tony” Leachon, in an interview over DZMM TeleRadyo said that it is not yet the right time to relax and loosen the country’s COVID-19 protocols.

Questions were raised after the national government announced that fully vaccinated international travelers and returning overseas Filipinos will no longer be required to undergo a facility-based quarantine but shall self-monitor for coronavirus disease symptoms beginning Feb. 1.

“Pwede ba yun? Ganun ba kabilis tayo mag decide na hindi muna [tayo nag consult] sa mga medical communities para at least manlang makakuha ka ng mas maraming opinyon ,” Leachon stated. “Kung ako ang tatanungin mo, for a major policy, siguro mga mid-February – dalawang linggo [bago] isagawa para sa ganon ay mai-anunsyo mo naman sa mga tao at tiyaka [maisaayos ang] mga loose ends na hindi klaro ,” Leachon added.

“Pinoprotektahan din natin ‘yung mga dadating and removing some of the medical safeguards may actually cause a surge eventually ,” Leachon reiterated.
