The government won’t immediately relax its quarantine rules even when the vaccine against the coronavirus disease is available, Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said.
Nograles said they will only consider relaxing restrictions after the rate of Covid-19 infections go down.
“Bakit ba tayo nasa GCQ at MGCQ? Dahil sa number of cases, dahil sa growth rate at rate ng virus, dahil sa ating hospital facilities kumbaga yung occupancy at healthcare capacities. So, yun ang naging factor. Paano ba bababa ang isang lugar from GCQ to MGC? ‘Yan pag medyo maayos na at bumaba ang mga rates na yan,” the Palace official told PTV-4 Wednesday.
“Kung magkakaroon ng massive rollout ng vaccination, bababa po yung cases of infection… Ang effect of the vaccination rollout inaasahan ng lahat ng mga bansa sa buong mundo, unti-unting makikita natin na bumababa ang kaso kasi nagkakaroon ng herd immunity with communities,” he furthered.
Nograles also warned the public against fake Covid-19 vaccines.
“Wala pa tayong bakuna right now dito sa bansa. Kung may nagaalok sa inyo, that means illegal yun kasi wala pa tayong natatanggap.
“It’s very easy to determine na fake at ilegal yan kasi sa point in time ngayon wala pa tayong vaccine. So, lahat yan na umaalok sa inyo, lahat po yan peke. Hindi namin ma-guarantee sa inyo kung ano ang nilalaman ng vial na yan,” he added.
The Philippines is expected to receive the initial 117,000 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines from the COVAX facility by mid-February.
