Two-week hard lockdown pushed - BusinessWorld

Two-week hard lockdown pushed By Reporters BUSINESS LEADERS are supporting a two-week lockdown to prevent the spread of the more contagious Delta coronavirus  variant, but requested for more time to prepare before restrictions are tightened. This as a group of health researchers on Wednesday urged the government to reimpose stricter quarantine rules in the Philippine capital region and nearby provinces as early as Aug. 1 to prevent a possible Delta-fueled surge in infections. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases in Metro Manila could go as high as 5,000 a day by the latter part of August if a “circuit-breaking” or an early hard lockdown would not be enforced in the capital region for two weeks starting Aug. 1, OCTA Research fellow Fredegusto P. David told a virtual press briefing. Metro Manila averages 1,000 new COVID-19 infections a day.
