Moreno hopes for ‘bayanihan’ efforts as the government prepares for the Delta COVID-19 surge and ramp up the current vaccination program.
“Hindi natutulog ang COVID-19 kaya dapat walang tulugan ang tulungan sa bakunahan,” he said.
Inter-Agency Task Force Co-Chairperson Karlo Nograles said that there is no guarantee that the two-week enhanced community quarantine in Metro Manila will be enough to control the spread of the Delta COVID-19 variant.
Nograles said that the duration of the ECQ will still depend on the number of COVID-19 cases and the progress of the ongoing vaccination drive.
“We also don’t know how long this ECQ will last. Right now, it’s just two weeks so far,” Nograles said in an interview on ABS-CBN.
“I-momonitor natin yung numbers, i-momonitor natin yung vaccination rollout, we’ll take it one day at a time but also be mindful about August 20,” he added.
