Dr. Ted Herbosa (Screengrab from RTVM/PCOO) MANILA - The government would resort to localized lockdowns should there be an increase in Covid-19 cases after the May 9 elections, an adviser of the National Task Force Against Covid-19 (NTF) said Wednesday. In a televised Laging Handa public briefing, Dr. Ted Herbosa said the country already knew how to respond to the threats of Covid-19 and this can be gleaned from the past two years. "Ibig sabihin nun ay maliit na lugar lamang, kung talagang napakataas ng antas ng new cases sa isang barangay, yun lang ang ating ila-lockdown (That means the lockdown would cover certain areas only, we'll lockdown a barangay if its cases are really high)," he added. The NTF considers lockdowns only when the healthcare system collapses. In case of Covid-19 surge, hospitals are ready to expand their capacities allocating more beds for Covid-19 patients. Herbosa said hospitals are saving their personal protective equipment and other resources f ....

In a Facebook post, Tugade said the DOTr's Aviation Sector has prepared for the "gradual" increase through "structural and procedural approaches." "Two days ago, we hit 7,500 for inbound passengers at the NAIA. And we are expecting in the next couple of days it will be 10,000 passengers," Tugade said. Since the shift to the least strict Alert Level 1 last March 1, all public transportation, including by air, are allowed to operate at 100 percent capacity. However, Tugade said that all "universal and mandatory safety measures" from departure, in flight, and arrival will remain in effect in all airports and a ....
