The alert level system may be integrated in the government’s epidemiological surveillance of new diseases including COVID-19, National Task Force (NTF) Against COVID-19 medical adviser Dr. Ted Herbosa said Wednesday.
However, Herbosa emphasized that easing to Alert Level 0 does not mean that there is no longer COVID-19 in the country.
“Dahil marami pa tayong problema, sabi nga ni Usec. Vergeire, baka akalan ng mga kababayan natin kapag nilagay tayo sa walang alert level, ay wala nang COVID. Hindi po ganon. Tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang COVID,” he said. [As Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said, because we still have a lot of problems, our countrymen may think that when we are placed at no alert level, there is no more COVID. It's not like that. COVID is still here.]
“Kaya ako’y sang-ayon sa pahayag ng ating IATF na tuloy tayo to Alert Level 1 hanggang March 31 sapagkat nandyan lang ang COVID at anytime pwede siyang mag-reemerge at magkaroon ng outbreak,” he added. [That’s why I agree with the statement of our IATF that we will continue to Alert Level 1 until March 31 because COVID is still there and anytime it can reemerge and have an outbreak.]Under Alert Level 1, intrazonal and interzonal travel shall be allowed without regard to age and comorbidities. All establishments, persons, or activities, are allowed to operate, work, or be undertaken at full on-site or venue/seating capacity provided it is consistent with minimum public health standards.
