Pinag-aaralan ng Department of Health (DOH) ang rekomendasyon ng publiko at mga eksperto na gawing exempted ang mga solo-riding cyclists sa pagsusuot ng face shields sa bagong polisiya bilang parte ng health protocols.

Pahayag ni Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario, “This is a form of exercise kasi and when you do your exercises, you require for oxygen.

“So, nu’ng nagpalabas po tayo ng guidelines noon sa mask, atin pong nabanggit ito at sinasabi natin na kung hindi talaga kaya ay hindi naman kailangang gawin as long as you are alone at mag-isa ka lang naman du’n sa bisikleta and you are not in a crowded place.

“So, ito pong pagpe-face shield when you do your biking ay atin pong pag-uusapan, pero nakikita po natin that we can consider this as long as alone sila at nagbibisikleta.”

Ayon din sa DOH, maglalabas sila ng joint administrative order sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa iba pang ahensiya ng pamahalaan para sa guidelines ng pagsusuot at paggamit ng face shields.

Pag-aaralan din umano ng DOH kung papayagan ang mga may sakit, ang mga nahihirapang huminga na maging exempted sa pagsusuot ng face shield.

COVID patients, sa hotel titira, libre kain pa — PDu30

Muling ipinaalala ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang banta ng COVID-19 sa ating kalusugan sa kanyang national speech nitong Lunes lalo na sa mga pasaway sa health protocols.

Aniya, “Alam mo ang mga Amerikano, pareho rin sa Pilipino, hindi naniniwala ang iba at ang iba naman, they don’t really follow the social distance, the congregation of people, especially those nightgoers.

“Alam mo pagka sa mga ganu’n, madali talaga ang transmission, shouting and singing there with all the saliva flowing around. “Alam mo sa totoo lang, I would be the last person to deprive you of your freedom to move around but it is important that you should understand what we are trying to protect… who are the people we are trying to shield is… it is the contamination from you. Sa iyo nanggagaling kung nahawa ka, naipasa mo sa iba.

“Never mind about ‘yung iyo kung gusto mo. But the problem is, kagaya nu’ng asymptomatic, meron ka, andiyan ‘yung nag-hybernate ‘yung microbe and yet you do not feel anything because you are asymptomatic and hindi mo alam you pass it around because you don’t feel anything, you go around giving it to other people.

” Aniya pa, “If we are to really avoid the virus, government itself must provide for the curative… preventive… and one of those is really swabbing para malaman ka. Kung malaman ka, maraming mga hotel ngayon… for people who are suspected of having the virus.”

Saad din ng Pangulo, “Ang problema nito is ganito, ikaw naman, kung dalhin ka roon sa ospital, it’s kind of a morbid thing really for anybody. It could be traumatic. “To some people, staying in the hospital is really a horror thing because ‘yung iba, hindi naospital ni minsan sa buhay nila.

“So I leave it to the city government and we will talk about it later. “Itong mga hotel na bakante, tutal pagkatapos niyan, you can always decontaminate the rooms, we will do it for you. Arrange with the hotels na puwede mo munang gamitin lalo na sa panahong ito. To the owners of hotels, inns, motel maybe kung wala nang iba to accommodate the Filipinos who are in need of help.

“I will assume the full responsibility of paying you pagdating ng panahon. I will see to it that… I will ask Congress, I will plead sa kanila na hanapan ng paraan na bayaran kayo and I will personally see to it that you are paid on time. This will include siguro meals but simple lang kagaya rito.

I recommend the menu rito sa Malacañang. Dito, magkain ka, isang sabaw, isang ulam pati kanin. Hanggang diyan lang ang makuha mo rito na pagkain. “Pakiusap ko lang, tutal wala namang… they don’t have to worry about an afterward sa thing of a… itong hotel mo ma-contaminte. We will do the necessary protocol to decontaminate or to… whatever there is in the room. Madali lang naman ‘yan. Pagbigyan ninyo ‘yung mga kababayan natin.

“So ‘yung mga local governments are put to notice that they have directed you to make necessary arrangements with vacant hotels, motels na patirahin muna ninyo ‘yung mga COVID patients.

“Now, if the hotel is chosen or selected… let it be that way. ‘Wag na ninyong papasukan ng ibang healthy persons. That hotel remains to be a medical facility for those afflicted with COVID.”
