Senator Bong Go on Saturday urged government authorities to consider imposing stricter measures on top of community quarantine protocols being implemented to control the rapidly rising number of Covid-19 cases in select areas as seen in the past days.
“Kailangang higpitan muna natin ulit ang mga patakaran. Maraming nagkukumpyansa masyado. Kailangan maitigil ang mabilis na pagtaas ng mga kaso ng Covid-19, lalo na sa NCR, upang hindi bumagsak ang ating health care system,” said the chair of the Senate committee on health.
But Go recommended that government authorities and health experts must find a viable balance between protecting people’s lives from the threats of Covid-19 while ensuring that operations of essential public services and industries remain unhampered.
“Natuto na dapat tayo sa pinagdaanan natin noong nakaraang taon. Naranasan na natin — nag-ECQ na tayo noon, nakailang pagsasara na tayo ng negosyo, nakailang pagtigil na tayo ng trabaho. Kung babalik tayo sa mas mahigpit na patakaran, gawan natin ng paraang hindi masyado mahirap para sa ating mga kababayan,” he said.
Go recommended that essential and even non-essential services and industries can remain operational to support the economy but must be subjected to strict adherence to safety protocols and minimum public health standards.
“Ang importante ngayon, mailigtas natin ang buhay ng mga Pilipino dahil malaki na ang tinaas ng kaso ng nagkakasakit. Kailangan mapigilan ito habang patuloy ang ating pagbabakuna,” he said.
Go also suggested that mass gatherings be temporarily prohibited while work-from-home arrangements must be encouraged. Families, particularly elders and vulnerable members, must take extra precautions by staying at home and avoiding unnecessary travels.
“Iwasan rin muna natin ang mga bisita sa bahay. Limitado lang dapat sa iilang katao ang ating nakakasalamuha para maproteksyunan ang ating pamilya at hindi magkahawahan,” Go added.
