She called on the public to observe the health department’s minimum health standards such as practicing physical distancing, wearing a mask, and practicing frequent hand washing, among others, as conditions that need to be met as restrictions were eased.The basic rule in a quarantine, kapag ikaw ay kahit anong level pa ng quarantine – ECQ, GCQ, MGCQ – ang basic principle natin, nakaquarantine tayo. So kung wala kang kailangang gawin sa labas, ‘wag kang lumabas ng bahay.
While case numbers continue to undergo validation, the DOH also attributed the rise in cases to increased contact among the population.
