OK lang ma extend ang ECQ, suportahan na muna ng gobyerno ang pangailangan ng mga apektado, and mas OK kung magkarun muna ng Mass testing then saka na pag desisyunan kung i - lift na ba, o dahan dahan lang...
Sang-ayon din ako sa extension.
Sa palagay ko ginawang good for two months yung Social Amelioration Program dahil naisipan na din nilang i-extend ang ECQ.
Tungkol sa Mass testing, hindi yata nila magagawa yan bago matapos ang April 12. Ayon sa mga naunang pahayag, April 14 pa gagawin sa mga PUMs at PUIs.
Sana nga mag-extend pa para bumaba yung risk ng second wave of infections kagaya ng nangyari sa Singapore kung saan biglang taas ulit ng mga panibagong cases sa kanila. Parang nabalewala tuloy yung mga previous efforts nila ngayon. Read
Coronavirus Singapore: 100 to 1,000 infections in one month. What happened?~
THE SECOND WAVE
Experts say the surge of cases in this country of 5.7 million people represents a “second wave” of infections.
The first wave began when tourists from mainland China passed the virus to Singapore residents in the initial stages of the global outbreak, with the earliest cases happening before the city state had implemented any travel restrictions.
As the number of cases grew, the city state introduced increasingly strict travel restrictions, first targeting foreign travellers coming from China, then Korea, Italy and Iran, and eventually barring all travellers.
However, a large part of the second wave of infections involves Singapore residents returning from countries such as the United States and Britain, which are experiencing a surge of cases.
Even more worryingly for authorities, the second wave also includes an increasing number of locally transmitted infections and cases with no known links to confirmed patients.
In response to the second wave, the city state introduced stricter social distancing measures, barring the entry of all travellers from March 23 and on March 27 closing bars and nightlife venues, limiting gatherings to 10 people and introducing penalties for individuals and restaurants who failed to keep customers one metre apart. Residents were urged to stay home and go out only to get essentials.

After lifting ng ECQ, we all know na ang next challenge ay ang road to economic recovery. The DOF/IATF-TWG led by NEDA is asking for our opinons (consumers and business owners) to help them craft programs and policies.
