“We are recommending that this policy in NCR also be adopted by the entire country, even in areas na hindi pa nagsu-surge dahil alam naman po natin it is really just a matter of time na itong Omicron ay kumalat na sa buong bansa,” Presidential adviser for COVID-19 Vince Dizon said.
Health Secretary Francisco Duque, Vaccine Czar Carlito Galvez, NTF Chairperson Delfin Lorenzana and DILG Chief Eduardo Ano all agreed on the proposal.
