Dapat magkaroon ng 2 linggong paghihintay sa gitna ng transition ng pagli-lift ng lockdown upang maobserbahan ng mga awtoridad ang posibilidad ng panibagong pagkalat ng COVID19, ayon sa WHO.

GENEVA - Countries that ease restrictions imposed to fight the spread of the coronavirus disease should wait at least two weeks to evaluate the impact of such changes before easing again, the World Health Organization said on Wednesday.

Every country should implement comprehensive public health measures to maintain a sustainable steady state of low-level or no transmission and prepare its surge capacity to react rapidly to control any spread, the WHO said. "To reduce the risk of new outbreaks, measures should be lifted in a phased, step-wise manner based on an assessment of the epidemiological risks and socioeconomic benefits of lifting restrictions on different workplaces, educational institutions, and social activities...," the WHO said.
