MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 National Policy against Covid-19 chief implementer, Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr., on Monday cited various efforts by local government units (LGUs) nationwide in managing the impacts of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic.<\/p>\n

During a televised public address of President Rodrigo Duterte, Galvez reported a decrease of Covid-19 cases in the National Capital Region (NCR), Region 3 (Central Luzon), Region IV-A (Calabarzon), and Baguio City.<\/p>\n

However, Galvez also reported that Covid-19 cases in some areas in Mindanao are generally increasing.<\/p>\n

“Kung titingnan po natin \u2018yung nakikita natin sa baba na sa bandang Mindanao southern part ay talagang medyo tumataas po<\/em>\u00a0(If we notice, at the southern part of Mindanao, the cases are quite increasing),” Galvez said.<\/p>\n

Galvez said the government’s Coordinated Operations to Defeat Epidemic (CODE) team will be visiting some “high risks” areas to help them contain the spread of Covid-19 as well as mitigate the impact of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The National Task Force on Covid-19 (NTF) is set to visit Bukidnon, La Union, Cebu, Laguna, Tawi-Tawi, Nueva Ecija, Leyte, and Negros Occidental.<\/p>\n

Galvez lauded the LGUs for coordinating with the national government when it comes to issues relating to Covid-19 management.<\/p>\n

“Ang maganda po sa ating mga LGUs po ngayon ay talagang ‘pagka kailangan nila ng tulong ay talaga pong tumatawag po sila<\/em>\u00a0(The good thing with our LGUs is that they are reaching out when they really need help),” he said.<\/p>\n

“They are working hard para at least ma-manage\u00a0po ang ating \u2014 ang ating ano po ang ating tinatawag nating \u2018yung mga kaso<\/em>\u00a0(They are working hard to at least manage the Covid-19 cases),” he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Duterte was elated with the improvement in the government\u2019s pandemic response.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy to note that there is an improvement in all aspects of the fight against Covid,” Duterte said.<\/p>\n

He also credited everyone for exerting various efforts to manage the health crisis.<\/p>\n

“So meaning to say that we are working, we are succeeding, and everything is \u2014 everybody is putting his effort, sweat\u00a0dito sa trabaho<\/em>\u00a0(in this job). I\u2019d like to thank you,” Duterte added.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
