MMDA Chairman Benhur Abalos explains the new granular lockdown scheme:
"This is more flexible. Kung saan lang may impeksyon, doon lang ilo-lockdown. We need a flexible policy, in the sense habang Kino-contain mo virus, nakakapagtrabaho yung iba." #COVID19Quarantine
Abalos says the new granular lockdown scheme will focus on 3 industries: crowded areas (churches, meeting halls); close contact areas (gyms, spas) and closed areas (dine in restaurants).
He said there will be 4 alert levels to determine operation of these industries.
Under this system, different brgys might have different alert levels depending on infection status to be determined by DOH.
Under Alert Level 1, all industries will be open, Alert Level 2 (50% capacity), Alert Level 3 (30% capacity, & Alert Level 4 (closed) | via @JervisManahan
@JervisManahan However, Abalos says this system is still being finetuned by the LGUs and the working committees, and is still subject for the approval of the President.
Asked if they can announce the new quarantine system before MECQ ends tomorrow, he said he's quite optimistic |@JervisManahan
