Senator Win Gatchalian on Monday urged the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) and local government units (LGUs) to prepare areas to be placed under granular lockdown and new alert level systems by providing them appropriate time.
He said the public should not immediately be subject to the smaller scale enforced quarantine.
“I am in favor of granular lockdown as long as the public is informed in advance para makapagplano sila. Like for example, kung bababa tayo to alert level 3, yung capacity ng restaurants at 50 percent al fresco obviously kailangan mo ng mas maraming waiter,” he said.
“Papapasukin mo yung mga waiters mo. Hindi pwedeng surprise announcement ‘yan kasi kawawa yung mga negosyo and this alert level is really meant for economic activity,” Gatchalian pointed out.
He said he’s amenable to the principle behind these new policies which is to slowly open up the economy while at the same time manage the current health crisis.
“This is really a balancing act. Kahit mataas ‘yung Covid-19 cases, nakakapag trabaho na ‘yung mga kababayan natin. Now, the areas that should be opened or not are pinpointed. But the public needs to be informed in advance because how can you plan?” he said.
“It has to be broadcast ahead of time so that ‘yung mga negosyo, pwede silang magplano,” Gatchalian said.
