MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Malaca\u00f1ang on Thursday said critics may have misunderstood the national government\u2019s plan for the prevailing coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic in the country.<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque denied claims made by critics that there is a clear lack of plans to recover from the health crisis, insisting that the government has been transparent in presenting its plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cAng tingin ko po, hindi lang naintindihan nung taong nagbigay ng<\/em>\u00a0statement\u00a0niya kung ano talaga yung plano<\/em>\u00a0(I think they just did not understand what the plans really are),\u201d Roque said in a press conference in Quezon City.<\/p>\n

He said the government is enhancing its testing abilities by launching the pilot for pooled testing, which may combine samples from several people and test them together instead of running them individually.<\/p>\n

Contact tracing efforts are now more \u201caggressive\u201d, more isolation centers are being established, and more life-saving equipment used for Covid-19 patients, such as units of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) machines and medicines are being procured, Roque added.<\/p>\n

In the same briefing, the chief implementer of the country’s National Policy Against Covid-19, Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr., said the Covid-19 recovery plan comes in three phases.<\/p>\n

Galvez said phase 1 was implemented from March to June, phase 2 from July to September, and phase 3 from October to December.<\/p>\n

Currently, he said, the task force is prioritizing the protection of front-liners by providing them with free Covid-19 testing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Galvez, however, acknowledged criticisms, saying these would all be reviewed by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Roque welcomed the report that the country\u2019s basic reproduction number or r0 (read as r-naught) has lowered to 1.<\/p>\n

3 from 1.7, according to Prof. Ranjit Rye from the University of the Philippines Department of Political Science.<\/p>\n

The r0 helps predict the expected number of cases from exposure to a single case, assuming all the individuals in the given population are susceptible.<\/p>\n

\u201cIbig sabihin nito, kung anuman ang ginagawa ng gobyerno, bagama\u2019t tumataas ang numero, e nag-improve naman po yung<\/em>\u00a0r0\u00a0na ibig sabihin mas kakaunti na ang nahahawa ng mga nagkakasakit<\/em>\u00a0(This means that whatever the government is doing, even if cases are increasing, the r0 is improving which means fewer people are getting infected),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

As of Wednesday, the country has 85,486 confirmed Covid-19 cases, with 26,996 recoveries and 1,962 deaths.<\/p>\n

Of this number, 5,083 were asymptomatic, 50,923 were mild cases, 227 were critical cases, and 295 were severe cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
