MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The national government is now discouraging home-based quarantine for those who tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) to minimize the risk of transmission within households, Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Nograles, also co-chair of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID), said the government will instead be shifting its focus on facility-based quarantine to ensure that disease transmission is controlled.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now discouraging yung tinatawag na mag (what you call) home quarantine.<\/p>\n

Dapat facility quarantine na e (It should be facility-based quarantine),\u201d he said in an interview over DZBB.<\/p>\n

He warned that there would be a higher chance that persons in the same household would contract Covid-19 even if the person who tested positive would self-isolate.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we\u2019re now shifting that even those asymptomatic should be given facility-based quarantine),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to Nograles, there are enough quarantine facilities that could accommodate even mild Covid-19 cases.<\/p>\n

Localized lockdowns<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nograles said the second phase of the government\u2019s National Action Plan against Covid-19 will push for a more proactive implementation of localized lockdowns nationwide.<\/p>\n

In a recent meeting with mayors via Zoom, he emphasized the need to impose lockdowns for at least 14 days, not just two to five days.<\/p>\n

\u201cFourteen days dapat kapag nagla-lockdown (A lockdown should be at least 14 days),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The incubation period for Covid-19 is on average five to six days, however, it can be increased to 14 days, the World Health Organization (WHO) said.<\/p>\n

As the world continues to grapple with Covid-19, Nograles also reiterated the importance of observing minimum health and safety standards such as physical distancing, wearing of face masks, and frequent handwashing.<\/p>\n

Currently, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is enhancing its contact tracing efforts by hiring more contact tracers.<\/p>\n
