'We can't afford a second wave': Palace checks NCR coronavirus data before easing restrictions COVID19Quarantine
Watch more in iWant or TFC.tv MANILA - Malacañang on Wednesday reiterated that the decision to lower or retain lockdown classifications in Metro Manila would depend on scientific data.
The government employs a 4-tier community quarantine ranging from the strictest ECQ to the most relaxed MGCQ. “We’re still looking for some kind of data that would indicate Metro Manila, if we give it more liberty so to speak under MGCQ, will not spark a second wave. We cannot afford a second wave that’s why we're looking at data that if we completely loosen up or almost completely loosen up is that the cases will not spike,” he explained.
The Inter-Agency Task Force will meet Wednesday afternoon to discuss the issue on lockdown restrictions. “I would say these 2 areas—Metro Manila and Cebu City—will take quite some time in the discussion that will take place this afternoon.” he said.
