MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): The government may consider reevaluating the age restrictions for those allowed to go outside their homes amid the Covid-19 pandemic by end of January or February, the country’s National Action Plan Against Covid-19 deputy chief implementer Vince Dizon said Wednesday (Jan 20).
During the Kapihan sa Manila Bay media forum, Dizon, also the country’s testing czar, said health authorities are still evaluating the effects of the holiday activities in December to the Covid-19 cases being recorded in January this year.
