The Department of Health (DOH) has recommended tighter border control and readiness of hospitals in the face of the threat of the more infectious Delta variant of COVID-19.
At the Inter-Agency Task Force meeting with President Rodrigo Duterte on Saturday night, the DOH also recommended monitoring local government units (LGUs) on endorsed arrivals or those entering their jurisdictions and implementing localized lockdown.
“Despite the data showing that there is already local transmission, border control continues to be a very critical component that we hope will continue to slow entry of more individuals who are positive, not just for Delta but also other variants of concern that may be discovered in the future,” said Dr. Anna Ong Lim of DOH technical advisory group.
