WHO binalaan ang Pinas sa MGCQ
MANILA, Philippines — Binigyang-babala kahapon ng World Health Organization, ang Pilipinas ukol sa plano nitong pagpapaluwag sa modified general community quarantine sa buong bansa sa Marso dahil sa maaaring sumipa ang kaso ng COVID-19 sa bansa.
“If we now go for large-scale relaxation of measures given the current existing situation and the circulation of variants and the fact it’ll still be many months before a large proportion of Filipinos are vaccinated, we may witness a situation where there’ll be an upsurge of cases and the overwhelming of the health (care system),” babala ni WHO Country Representative Rabindra Abeyasinghe sa isang briefing.
Sinabi rin ni Abeyasinghe na “plateauing” palang ang kaso ng COVID-19 sa buong bansa kabilang na ang nasa National Capital Region.
Ayon din sa WHO official na habang naiintindihan nila ang “significant economic burdens on sectors of the population… every measure needs to be carefully calibrated and decided upon before being implemented.”
“I believe firmly that we still need to maintain these restrictions. That doesn’t mean we cannot loosen up in areas where the economy will benefit,” giit pa niya.
Maaari naman umanong gawin ang pagpapaluwag sa restriksyon sa “targeted manner.”
