The Davao City Covid-19 Task Force said the city government’s imposition of stricter regulations depends on how responsible residents are in following the Minimum Public Health Standards (MPHS) and getting vaccinated.
Davao City is currently under Alert Level 2, which is a more relaxed classification compared to the previous Alert Level 3 status.
Task Force spokesperson Dr. Michelle Schlosser reminded Dabawenyos not to be complacent in following minimum public health standards and should also get two doses of the anti-Covid-19 vaccines and booster shots for an additional layer of protection.
“Naa paman gud ang Covid kahit na mag Alert Level 2 or Alert Level 1 ta. Sa ngalan nga naay Covid, we have to be very vigilant dili gyud pwede na dili na ta mag-mask wala na’y social distancing, dili na magpabooster. Kay mubo naman ang ato-ang alert level all the more mas i-heighten nato ang MPHS and magpabooster gyud ta,” she said.
