The Department of Health (DOH) is already preparing a contingency plan for a surge in coronavirus (Covid-19) cases by Christmas time, Malacañang said.
“Mas mabuti nang maagap, sabi nga. Sa ngayon, alam natin na ang Christmas season ay isang masayang okasyon sa Pilipinas kung saan marami ang pagtitipon, pagkikita-kita at reunions ng mga miyembro ng pamilya at mahal sa buhay,” according to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
Roque reminded the Filipino people to observe the minimum public health standards during the holiday season.
He said the DOH has already released Circular 2020-0355 so health practices are maintained during the holidays.
The DOH Circular identified holiday activities that can be classified as safe, moderate risk, and high risk.
Classified as safe activities are attending online masses, noche buena or media noche with the family inside the home, online video calls among family members who are apart during the holiday season, and shopping in online stores.
On one hand, classified as having moderate risk are small gatherings in public areas that take into consideration physical distancing and restrictions on mass gatherings.
High risk activities include physical attendance in indoor religious activities with many attendees, shopping in crowded malls and tiangge, big gatherings in enclosed spaces, and singing, speaking loudly, and physical contact.
