Cari amici, nel mio Paese la situazione è ancora critica. Il distanziamento sociale è difficile da mantenere per chi vive nella periferia affollata di Manila e in gravi condizioni di povertà. Ci sono controlli severissimi della polizia e come monito per chi nn segue le regole, ci sono delle bare lasciate nel bel mezzo delle strada. Una campagna-avvertimento del Governo, contro il virus molto forte!
Quarantine passes are no longer required under the general community quarantine (GCQ) in Metro Manila, but local government units (LGUs) can still impose this requirement under localized lockdowns, according to the Department of the Interior and Local Government or DILG.
DILG Secretary Eduardo Año said, on Monday in reopening the economy under GCQ, quarantine passes would not be required anymore as part of the easing movement of restrictions but quarantine pass may still be required by LGUs in selected places under their jurisdiction and some restrictions are still in place such as curfew or limiting movement to work only or essential travel.
LGUs have been empowered to impose lockdowns on smaller barangays and communities identified as high-risk areas. Meanwhile, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said workers are not required to carry a travel authority when they are outside Metro Manila. Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, PNP deputy chief for operations, said people, especially from provinces adjacent to Metro Manila, would be allowed by policemen manning quarantine control points (QCPs) to enter the metropolis even if they are not carrying a travel authority. But they have to show their company identification cards and other proof of employment issued by concerned government agencies are enough to pass the QCPs. Eleazar also said a travel authority is only for locally stranded individuals who want to return to their hometowns.
The DILG chief also said, the country is not yet back to normal as the coronavirus pandemic is still without a cure or vaccine.
