OCTA RESEARCH: GRANULAR LOCKDOWN, HINDI GAGANA VS. COVID-19

Hindi mapapababa ng granular lockdown ang COVID-19 surge na nararanasan sa bansa.

Ito ang pagtaya ng OCTA research group makaraang ianunsyong aprubado na ng Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) ang nasabing estratehiya.

“Based on historical evidence, granular lockdowns in the face of a massive surge have not been effective. I suppose this will need to come with a lot of hope and prayer for it to work,” ayon kay OCTA research fellow Dr. Guido David.

“If the decision has been made, we just have to support it. [We must] continue to work together and hope for the best. I will continue to monitor trends in the NCR [National Capital Region] and the Philippines. Stay safe everyone. Your fate, and your family’s fate, is in your hands when you go out of your homes,” dagdag pa niya.

Hinimok naman ng OCTA na mag self-ECQ na lamang ang mga residente o sila na mismo ang huwag lumabas ng bahay.

Samantala, matatandaang inaprubahan na ng Inter-Agency Task Force ang pagpapatupad ng granular lockdown.

Inaasahang sa Miyerkules, September 8 ay magsisimula na ang iba’t ibang mga local government units sa pagpapatupad ng kani-kanilang granular lockdown.

“(The) lockdown will be limited to few and small specific areas with high transmissions; but other areas will allow some more sector openings and capacity so that more jobs can be brought back,” ayon kay Department of Trade and Industry Secretary Ramon Lopez.

Sa kabila ng pag-apruba ng IATF, hihintayin pa rin itong aprubahan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.

“I will let Spokesman Harry, as our spokesman to properly disclose and explain the guidelines which are being finalized and will be issued asap before September 7,” dagdag pa ni Lopez.

Kasabay ng granular lockdown pinag-aaralan rin ng IATF na mas palawakin pa ang mga lugar na isasailalim sa Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine dahil sa pangamba ng mas mataas na kaso ng COVID-19 sa mga susunod na linggo.
