“I would rather stay under MECQ and then reassess again after two weeks,” Zamora told CNN Philippines in an interview.
“It’s really hard to open up the economy at this point because even if we are improving, I know we can improve further,” he added.
Zamora said he also supports the Department of Health and OCTA Research Group’s position on the extension of MECQ in Metro Manila.
The OCTA group had earlier urged the government not to lift the MECQ if the below one reproduction rate in Metro Manila is not “sustained.”
