OCTA Research fellow Guido David on IATF's decision to implement granular lockdown: They want to try something different
The Inter-Agency Task Force has approved placing Metro Manila under a granular lockdown status starting Wednesday, Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez confirmed yesterday bit.ly/3jJujeo
OCTA: Sa nakikita natin, yung MECQ is having an effect sa trend. Although mabagal yung pagbaba ng reproduction number sa NCR. Maaring magkaroon na ng downward trend sa NCR by around 3rd week of September, kung patuloy ang current trajectory
OCTA: Based on history, hindi pa natin nakita na naging effective ang granular lockdown pag malawak na ang pagkalat ng virus sa isang region
OCTA: Nakikita natin na yung granular lockdown, dapat may kasabay na ibang interventions tulad ng mass randomized testing, more aggressive contact tracing, and early detection and isolation
OCTA on DOH's 30,000 daily COVID-19 cases projection in NCR: Hindi namin nakikita 'yan sa ngayon. Kung umabot ng ganito, napakalala na ng sitwasyon sa bansa. That will be worse than India or Indonesia. Baka mga 7,000 cases per day ang limit sa NCR
OCTA on lifting of travel restrictions in some countries: Kapag nasusunod ang quarantine protocols for int'l travelers at iniimplement ng maayos, hindi siya malaking concern
