Hirit na palawigin pa ang MECQ sa Metro Manila pag-aaralan pa ng IATF

Pag-aaralan pa ng Inter Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) ang hirit ng ilang sektor na gawing isang buwan ang Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine na umiiral sa Metro Manila at sa iba lang kalapit na lugar.

Ayon kay Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque, kinakailangan na balansehin ang ekonomiya ng bansa at kalusugan ng tao.

“On the suggestion to make the MECQ effective for one month, this is a decision that has to be made by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID). It entails a delicate balancing of protecting and saving people’s health to protecting and saving the economic health of the nation,” pahayag ni Roque.

Naiintindihan aniya ng Palasyo na aabutin ng dalawa hanggang tatlong linggo bago malaman ang epekto ng MECQ.

“We understand that the effects of the recent implementation of modified enhanced quarantine (MECQ) measures in the National capital Region (NCR) and nearby areas would be felt two to three weeks after its enforcement. The incubation period for COVID-19, according to health experts, is fourteen (14) days so we just have to wait for that time to ascertain the health impact of the MECQ classification,” pahayag ni Roque.
