The Department of Health (DOH) has placed the entire Philippines back under the high-risk category as COVID-19 cases increased by 570 percent in just a few days.
The action is just one of the moves made by the DOH.
Meanwhile, the Metro Manila Development Authority has ordered unvaccinated Manila residents to stay home.
The moves would mean a slowdown in business activities in Metro Manila and thousands of people losing jobs.
However, Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship and Go Negosyo founder Jose Maria “Joey” Concepcion III supported the decision of Metro Manila mayors to limit the movements of unvaccinated individuals in the National Capital Region (NCR).
Concepcion was referring to announcement of MMDA Chairman Benjamin “Benhur” Abalos Jr. that local chief executives in the NCR agreed to pass ordinances that will restrict the movement and activities of unvaccinated people while the region is under Alert Level 3 until January 15.
Take note that the DOH has placed the entire country in high-risk category and the restrictions in people’s movement will soon affect everybody, including Dabawenyos, particularly the unvaccinated ones.
