Will Bohol downgrade to a general community quarantine status?
Bohol Gov. Arthur Yap seeks a one week period in order to “harmonize” the provisions as set by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID).
In a televised briefing on Friday morning, the IATF-EID recommended for the downgrading of Bohol province from the current enhanced community quarantine to a general community quarantine status.
However, Yap said that even if he will still finalize it, the following measures against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic will still remain.
- Suspension of domestic air and sea travels until May 15, 2020.
- Social distancing
- Hygiene
- Sanitation
- Quarantine Passes
- Curfew
- Partial liquor ban
- Wearing of face masks
- Ban on gatherings
NEW NORMAL
Yap said people would have to be used to this “new normal”.
“Anaron nato ang atong kaugalingon sa maong pulong. Ibutang sa huna-huna (We must be used to this term. Put it in our minds),” he said.
“We must learn to live with COVID-19. We must learn to survive with COVID-19. We must not die due to COVID-19,” he added.
