Medical group seeks GCQ shift for Metro Manila COVID19Quarantine
MANILA - A medical group on Thursday called on the government to revert Metro Manila's lockdown rule to general community quarantine to keep the economy afloat despite a worrying growth in the number of new infections.
"Puwede naman talaga magsama ang kalusugan at saka kabuhayan para medyo ma-open natin ang economy dahil marami sa kababayan natin ang talagang nagpo-problema na pagdating sa pagpapakain ng pamilya. So I think it is now time for us to go back." Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque also said it is "highly unlikely" for the government to keep Metro Manila and neighboring economic hubs under modified enhanced community quarantine , citing depleting resources.
"In a way, secondary outcome lang 'yun sa amin na makahinga, pero in reality, hindi naman kami nakahinga talaga ng mabuti kasi continuous ang pagdating ng pasyente at dinudumog pa rin kami."
