The steady decline of Covid-19 infections in the National Capital Region should prompt government officials to further ease quarantine restrictions in time for the holiday season, Presidential Adviser on Entrepreneurship and Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion said.Concepcion said that the downward trend in daily new Covid-19 cases and reopening of more businesses should be enough indicators to lower the alert level to 3 or 2 for the rest of the year.
Concepcion pushed for a 50 percent capacity for indoor businesses to further boost the economy as the holidays are sure to provide more employment to Filipinos.'Thirty percent capacity won't be enough to cover for the business expenses of our entrepreneurs and pay off their amortization, employees' salaries and 13th month pay. They need more to recover. Let's allow more fully vaccinated individuals to help our business sector as the cases go down,' he said.
