“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.”

He will get his first Sinovac jab after he was given the go signal by his infectious disease doctor Paul Salandanan, Secretary Vince Dizon, deputy chief implementer of the National Action Plan Against COVID-19; and Gloria Balboa, Department of Health (DOH) National Capital Region director.
This came after the DOH announced that recovered COVID-19 patients are no longer required to wait for 90 days before getting the vaccine.
The Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) also allowed mayors in high-risk areas to get vaccinated.
