Gov’t urged to speed up vaccine rollout to fight Delta

By Prince Golez

Amid rising concern over the threat of the Delta Covid-19 variant, President Rodrigo Duterte urged the government to hasten the vaccination rollout.

Duterte said the only way to help prevent the spread of the Delta variant is to fasten efforts to vaccine people.

“Itong variant Delta is causing so [mant] scary stories for us kaya kung sabi na four times more aggressive, more transmissibility is faster than the usual Covid-19, nakakatakot nga,” the President said in his weekly address Wednesday evening.

“So the best way really is to double the time in the inoculation of people. Iyan lang talaga ang paraan natin na ano and we just hope that what we expected to be coming our way in the coming few days ang mga bakuna darating sana,” according to him.

Meanwhile, Duterte reminded those who have yet to get shots to stay home to prevent viral spread.

“Now ito ngayong ayaw magpabakuna, sinasabi ko sa inyo huwag kayong lumabas ng bahay kasi ‘pag lumabas kayo ng bahay, sabihin ko sa mga pulis eh ibalik ka doon sa bahay mo. You will be escorted back to your house because you are a walking spreader,” he said.
