Philippine Red Cross Chairman Senator Richard J.

Gordon on Thursday, June 10, is urging the coronavirus disease Inter-Agency Task Force to “reconsider the current protocols” which require a 14-day mandatory quarantine period.Gordon issued this statement as a reaction to Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia’s swab upon arrival policy – specifically overseas Filipino workers and returning overseas Filipinos.

“Closer is better,” said Gordon – referring to the ability of local governments to better protect their people, especially island provinces like Cebu. He added that a 7-day quarantine should be “enough” where an Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test will be taken after this period. He added that any other businesses should also be allowed to open up hand-in-hand with aggressive vaccination.
