BREAKING: Metro Manila will be placed under Alert Level 4 when the government implements the pilot COVID-19 alert level scheme on Sept. 16-30 in the capital region, Interior Secretary Eduardo Año tells CNN Philippines' #TheSource
DILG Sec. Año: NCR will be under Alert Level 4 from Sept. 16 to 30. LGUs can impose granular lockdowns. This alert level allows 30% al fresco, 10% indoor dining for fully vaccinated individuals.
DILG Sec. Año says NCR will only be under one alert level, adds DOH will use data and expert opinion to recommend alert level status
AAMBIS-Owa Party-list Rep. Sharon Garin: We have to live with the virus... Vaccination bubbles can be a long-term way to manage crisis.
Rep. Garin: Limit the movement of unvaccinated individuals
Rep. Garin: Every lockdown costs the government and the economy cash. It's expensive.
Rep. Garin on Alert Level 4 status in Metro Manila: I think things won't improve much on the economic side. So many things are still not allowed. But if everybody's vaccinated, why not loosen activities.
