DoH warns vs further easing MM quarantine
The Philippine Star
|September 27, 2020
Caution against immediately relaxing the quarantine in Metro Manila was raised yesterday by the Department of Health (DOH), saying an “improving situation” is not a signal for complacency.
Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said the monitoring of COVID-19 cases in the National Capital Region (NCR) has shown both “good indications” on the one hand and a “clustering of cases” on the other.
“We need to see that, on one hand, there are places here in Metro Manila where a clustering or rise in cases has been observed,” Vergeire said in Filipino at the latest “Laging Handa” public briefing.
As such, easing up to a modified general community quarantine (MGCQ) in Metro Manila should require careful study by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Disease (IATF), she said.
