10 Pinoy nasa COVID-19 quarantine sa Shanghai, China – Phil. Envoy

ni Lolet Abania | April 20, 2022

Nasa tinatayang 10 Pilipino ang isinailalim sa quarantine matapos na magpositibo sa test sa COVID-19 sa Shanghai, China, na kasalukuyang naka-lockdown dahil sa virus surge, ayon sa envoy ng Pilipinas sa lungsod ngayong Miyerkules.

Sinabi ni Philippine Consul General in Shanghai Josel Ignacio na nakikipag-ugnayan na sila habang may direktang komunikasyon sa mga infected na Pinoy para makapagbigay sa kanila ng assistance.

“We regret that right now we have 10 of our nationals [who] have been taken to quarantine, who have tested positive. They have reached out to us and we are taking care after and looking after them one on one,” ani Ignacio sa isang interview.

“We are in direct communication, they tell us what they need. We try to elevate that to the authorities in different ways depending upon their needs,” dagdag niya.

Ayon kay Ignacio, hiniling din nila na magkaroon ng mga food vouchers na magagamit para makabili ng mga goods online at maaaring mai-deliver diretso ang mga ito sa mga COVID-positive Pinoy households sa gitna ng limitadong galaw ng mga indibidwal sa lugar.

“Having into the lockdown we saw some episodes of some panic-buying and supply lines became so tight. The recommendation we felt to address the common challenges would be in terms of providing some food security for our nationals,” pahayag ni Ignacio.

“So that’s why the request for assistance is in the form of vouchers [and] food cards that are good as cash that Filipinos can use to purchase goods online. These goods can be delivered straight to their households because there is a limitation in mobility,” ani pa niya.

Samantala, sinuspinde rin ng Commission on Elections (Comelec) ang isasagawa sanang absentee voting sa Shanghai, China.

“We have about 1,600 registrants but because of the situation we were compelled to ask Comelec for direction. And the Comelec issued a resolution for temporarily suspending it because there is no really way,” sabi ni Ignacio.
