MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Thursday cited the need for a more proactive implementation of localized lockdowns in Metro Manila amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cAng<\/em>\u00a0point\u00a0sana natin dito, kahit isang<\/em>\u00a0case\u00a0pa lang i<\/em>-lockdown\u00a0mo na kaagad at kailangan mailabas kaagad natin dito at ma<\/em>-test\u00a0‘yung mga kasama niya<\/em>\u00a0(Our point here is if even we only have one case, let’s implement a lockdown immediately and we need to pull them out and test the people whom they had contact with). I mean,\u00a0mailabas para mailagay sa mga<\/em>\u00a0isolation facilities\u00a0natin<\/em>\u00a0(so that we can get them and they will be put in our isolation facilities),\u201d DILG Secretary Eduardo A\u00f1o said in a radio interview.<\/p>\n

A\u00f1o, also vice-chairman of the National Task Force for Covid-19, said he raised this matter in his meeting with Metro Manila mayors, officials of Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and some members of Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) as part of measures to contain the spread of disease while gradually reopening the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cGusto sana natin ngayon mabilisang<\/em>\u00a0(What we want now is a faster implementation of) localized lockdown, whether it is a community, neighborhood, a street or a building or one household or one\u00a0barangay<\/em>\u00a0(village).\u00a0Para makapagbukas tayo ng kabuhayan at makapagtrabaho yung mga kababayan natin pero kailangan talaga dito mabilis na aksyon<\/em>\u00a0(So that we would be able to eventually reopen jobs and offices and our kababayans will be able to return to work. We need to act fast),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He also encouraged those who have a suspicion of being in contact with a possible Covid-19 patient to come forward and subject themselves to testing.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon’t wait for you to be traced. Come forward because we have enough testing kits and expenses for that would be shouldered by PhilHealth (Philippine Health Insurance Corp.) if you are a member,” he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, A\u00f1o said the possibility of Cebu City being placed under a modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) or general community quarantine (GCQ) depends on the data analytics of the Covid-19 cases in the city.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will see after July 15 but there is a big possibility that their quarantine category will be downgraded. It will depend on our data analytics but we have seen a remarkable change in Cebu City. Maybe we will put much of our attention and resources there,\u201d he said in Filipino.<\/p>\n
