MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Malaca\u00f1ang on Monday admitted that the government is unlikely to relax the quarantine classification of Metro Manila on July 16 following a continuous spike in the number of confirmed coronavirus disease (Covid-19) cases in the region.<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said this development is based on the recommendation of Metro Manila mayors and members of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID).<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was not part of any recommendation made.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all I can say until\u00a0i<\/em>-announce\u00a0po ng President<\/em>e (until the President makes the announcement),\u201d he said in a virtual Palace briefing.<\/p>\n

Even if the Duterte administration\u2019s economic managers are pushing for the reopening of the economy, he said the transition of the National Capital Region from the current general community quarantine (GCQ) until July 15 to the least restrictive modified GCQ (MGCQ) is still out of the question.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Yan ang gustong mangyari ng mga<\/em>\u00a0economic managers\u00a0pero hindi po \u2018yan naging rekomendasyon ng kahit sino,<\/em>\u00a0mayor\u00a0o<\/em>\u00a0IATF,\u00a0sa mga naganap na magpupulong<\/em>\u00a0(That\u2019s what the economic managers want, but it is not the recommendation made by anyone, mayors of IATF, during the meetings),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said current Covid-19 data on case doubling rate and critical care capacity does not indicate that NCR can already transition to the least restrictive quarantine classification.<\/p>\n

\u201cDatos po ang tinitignan natin kung tayo po ay magluluwag at siguro po<\/em>\u00a0at this point, the data does not indicate\u00a0na pupuwedeng magluwag po<\/em>\u00a0at least\u00a0sa<\/em>\u00a0Metro Manila (Data will be the basis for easing quarantine restrictions but at this point, the data does not indicate that we can ease further at least in Metro Manila),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While Duterte has yet to announce the new quarantine classifications, National Task Force (NTF) on Covid-19 chief implementer Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. said there would be some areas whose status could \u201cescalate\u201d considering a rise in severe and critical Covid-19 cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cHindi po namin ibibigay ngayon kasi si Presidente po ang mag<\/em>-announce\u00a0pero meron pong mag-e<\/em>-escalate\u00a0at yung mga area po na ito ay yung nakikita nating nagkakaroon ng<\/em>\u00a0new cases and spikes (We cannot give the classification now because it\u2019s the President who will announce but there will be areas that will escalate and these areas are those with new cases and spikes),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Citing the World Health Organization (WHO), Roque expressed optimism that the jump of Covid-19 cases in the Philippines can still be controlled.<\/p>\n

\u201cSa nakaraan na anim na linggo, dumoble po ang mga kaso sa iba\u2019t ibang parte ng mundo, ayon sa<\/em>\u00a0World Health Organization.\u00a0Pero kaya naman po ito ma<\/em>-control (For the past six weeks, the number doubled all over the world, according to the WHO. But this can still be controlled),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Roque pointed out that Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was earlier quoted in reports saying the pandemic is still controllable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many examples from around the world that have shown that even if the outbreak is intense, it can still be brought back under control,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said a shift of Metro Manila to MGCQ is one of the options being considered on July 16 as long as localized lockdowns are imposed immediately.<\/p>\n

The second option which will be recommended to Duterte, he said, is to retain the GCQ in Metro Manila.<\/p>\n

Duterte is expected to announce the new quarantine classifications on July 15, Roque said.<\/p>\n

As of Monday, there are a total of 56,259 confirmed Covid-19 cases in the country, of which 16,046 are recoveries and 1,534 are deaths.<\/p>\n

The country currently has a 2.7 percent Covid-19 mortality rate, which is below the 5.5 percent global average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
