The Inter-Agency Task Force for Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) should use the two-week modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) to recalibrate its strategy in beating the COVID-19 pandemic.
Senators made the call as they reiterated their support for the medical community’s call for the government to revert Metro Manila back to ECQ/MECQ so that health workers who are already exhausted and overwhelmed with the rise of COVID-19 cases in the country could recuperate.
Sen. Joel Villanueva echoed Binay’s call, saying the IATF should have been in constant communication with the medical community so there would be no disconnect between policy and practice. “We are calling on the DOLE again to continue its labor inspections to ensure that offices and other companies are observing minimum health standards,” Villanueva said.
“If we do not automate and improve our processes, we will be back to square one again after Aug. 18. The spread of the virus is faster than how we react to stop it,” Gatchalian said on his Twitter account.
