OCTA Research Group fellow Fr. Nicanor Austriaco and Presidential adviser for entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion had urged the government’s pandemic task force to take initial steps in taking the Philippines out of a “pandemic mindset.”
Opening up the country to the world by easing and simplifying travel restrictions will redound to many downstream benefits to the economy, they said. Concepcion said the country’s travel restrictions could be further relaxed without compromising safety by scrapping facility-based quarantines and instead requiring only home quarantines.
Meanwhile, an official of the National Task Force Against COVID-19 said Wednesday night vaccination was the key to the exit of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. At least 57.8 million Filipinos are fully vaccinated and 6,683,975 eligible individuals have received booster shots.
