The government now discourages home-based quarantine for coronavirus (Covid-19) patients, according to Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles.
Nograles, also co-chairperson of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, said that people with Covid-19 infection must undergo quarantine in government isolation facilities to prevent further transmission of the virus.
“We are now discouraging home quarantine. Dapat facility quarantine. Isa sa mga nakikita namin, kung nahawa ng COVID, nag ho-home quarantine. Pero ang dangerous kasi sa home quarantine, mas malaking chances na magkakahawaan dun sa kanyang pamilya o kung saan sya nakatira,” he said in a Dobol B sa News TV interview Sunday.
“We’re now shifting na kung mahawa, kahit asymptomatic, mas bibigyan natin ng priority na doon mag-facility quarantine. Anyway, marami pa naman tayong mga COVID facilities na maka-accommodate ng mga mild cases.”
As of July 11, the Department of Health reported the total number of Covid-19 cases at 54,222. Total recoveries are now at 14,037 while the death toll stands at 1,372.
