Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso is not yet thinking of resuming his “Listening Tour” as he would rather focus on the pandemic especially in combatting the current surge in Covid-19 cases brought about by the highly-contagious Omicron variant. READ:
“Wala, hindi ko talaga iniisip. Ang gusto ko talaga ngayon kapag kayo ay na-impeksyon ay magamot namin kayo. Ang gusto ko ngayon, pag may na impeksyon gumaling kayo agad. Gusto naming meron kayong pasilidad, meron kayong doctor,” Moreno told reporters after inspecting the Araullo Quarantine Facility, which is part of the city government’s preparation for the expected exponential rise in Covid-19 infections.
And to help lessen the number of infections particularly among health workers in various hospitals, 12 quarantine facilities have been activated by the City of Manila, according to Moreno. “So nananawagan po ako, magpabakuna na kayo. Pag hindi po kayo nagpabakuna darating ang araw, ilang oras ngayon o ilang araw ngayon o linggo ay pahigpit ng pahigpit ng pahigpit ang magiging regulasyon sa unvaccinated,” Moreno said.
