Joey Concepcion said the government should consider restricting unvaccinated people from entering certain establishments, eating out, or moving around the country.
MANILA - The Philippines needs to make “bold moves” to check the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19, and salvage the “make or break” fourth-quarter economic results, a presidential adviser said in a statement on Sunday.
Concepcion also said incentives can be given to businesses that will aim for full vaccination of their employees, such as increased operational capacity so they can recover lost revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He noted that the fourth quarter is typically the strongest quarter for the private sector, and added that the country could not afford another setback to its economy.
