馬尼拉大都會區委員會主席週三表示，馬尼拉大都會區委員會訂於本週開會，向政府的 COVID-19 工作小組提出對於首都地區社區隔離的建議。
MMC ( Metro Manila Council ) 主席兼 Parañaque 市長 Edwin Olivarez 告訴 CNN Philippines’ News Night ，由馬尼拉大都會區所有市長組成的委員會，正在等待衛生部提供最新的 COVID-19 相關數據，以了解該地區的病例增長狀況及時間。
Edwin Olivarez 說「如果沒有詳細的數據，我們將無法向政府工作小組建議提升或者降低社區隔離限制等級，也不應該貿然的修改社區隔離等級。現行的衛生防疫政策，應該持續進行下去。」，儘管他希望再次延長在 Parañaque 市的 14 個 Barangay 高風險地區的一般社區隔離 ( General Community Quarantine ) 15 天。
預計社區隔離的命運，將在周四的新興傳染病管制小組會議之後宣布。
現在，菲律賓境內大部分地區，包含馬尼拉大都會區、宿霧等其他幾個仍被認為有感染 COVID-19 高風險的地區，都在更寬鬆的一般社區隔離下。
The Metro Manila Council is set to meet this week on its recommendation to the government’s COVID-19 task force on the fate of the community quarantine in the capital region, its chairman said on Wednesday.
MMC chairman and Parañaque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez told CNN Philippines’ News Night that the council composed of all mayors in Metro Manila is just waiting for latest data from the Department of Health on the case doubling time in the region, or the time it takes for COVID-19 cases to double.
“Hindi po kami makapag-decide … without the specific data para malaman po natin kung ang recommendation natin is to sustain ‘yung ating general community quarantine o i-downgrade na sa modified general community quarantine,” Olivarez said.
[Translation: We can’t decide … without the specific data so we would know whether to recommend a stay for the general community quarantine or downgrade it to a modified general community quarantine.]
Olivarez, however, said that he wants the general community quarantine to be extended for another 15 days in Parañaque City, despite what he described as a plateau in cases in 14 barangays.
“Masiyadong abrupt kung magkaroon po tayo ng modified. ‘Yun pong inumpisahan natin na health protocol po natin, dapat i-continue po natin ‘yan,” he said.
[Translation: It’s too abrupt if we go into modified (general community quarantine). The health protocols that we started with, we should continue with those.]
The fate of the community quarantine in the country is expected to be announced on Thursday, following the meeting of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases.
Most of the country is now under the more relaxed modified general community quarantine, while several other regions considered still at high risk for COVID-19 infections, including Metro Manila and Cebu, are under general community quarantine.
