Duterte suggests: Don’t leave home until it’s your turn for Covid-19 vaccine

By Prince Golez

President Rodrigo Duterte encouraged those who have yet to get Covid-19 shots to stay in their homes amid rising infections.

Unvaccinated persons should remain at home until they are scheduled to get vaccinated against Covid-19, Duterte said in his weekly televised address Monday evening.

“‘Yung mga elderly, ‘yung may medyo matatanda na, bedridden or wheelchair-bound, ‘wag na muna silang lumabas kung walang bakuna,” the country’s chief executive said.

“At saka na ‘yung mga tao na walang bakuna, my suggestion is do not go out of the house until there is a facility where you can go to, to have your vaccines,” he added.

In his July 29 address, Duterte ordered policemen and barangay officials to escort unvaccinated people back to their homes if they are seen outdoors.

This allegedly prompted the overcrowding at several Covid-19 vaccination centers.
