Free mass testing: Compromise proposed in Metro Manila alert level policy
MANILA - Government should conduct free mass testing and allow only vaccinated workers outside their homes if it will enforce the proposed alert level and granular lockdown policy in Metro Manila, a public health advocate said Monday.
"Kung i-apply natin ang granular lockdown, baka yung mobility will actually increase transmission and we'll reach 30,000 [daily new cases] by September," he told ANC's Headstart. It is also "unbelievable" that the Philippines has yet to provide free COVID-19 tests for its citizens, Leachon said. Government should conduct some 100,000 to 150,000 tests daily, he added.
"Dapat i-rechannel natin ang funds for face shields and face masks to the testing and also to ayuda and to contact tracing."
