MAYNILA - Hihingi ng gabay ang Department of Health sa World Health Organization kung puwede nang ideklarang controlled o contained ang pandemiya sa bansa, kung magtutuloy-tuloy ang mababang positivity rate ng bansa.
Ayon sa rekomendasyon ng WHO, dapat mapanatili ito sa ganitong level sa loob ng hindi bababa sa 2 linggo bago pag-isipan ang pagluluwag sa komunidad at ekonomiya. "For 2 weeks, we hope to have a positivity rate lower than 5 percent, and we will ask the guidance of WHO if we can already declare that the COVID pandemic in the Philippines has been controlled or contained," ani Department of Health Secretary Francisco Duque III.
"We avoid the close spaces, the crowded areas and the close contact settings. Or if you cannot help it, then wear your face shield. It’s an extra layer of protection. Look at Western Europe, July 19 they announced freedom day, they removed the masking mandate. So now they’re on their 4th or 5th wave. Do we want to go the way of these countries?" ani Duque.
