IKINAALARMA nina Senador Sonny Angara at Grace Poe ang paglobo ng bilang ng mga positibong kaso ng COVID-19 kaya’t nanawagan silang kumilos agad ang pamahalaan at maglunsad ng information campaign hinggil sa bagong variant na mabilis makahawa.

Sa magkakahiwalay na pahayag, sinabi nina Angara at Poe na lubha nang nakaaalarma ang ang ganitong sitwasyon at kailangan magkaroon ng dagdag na pag-iingat ulit dahil tila nakampante ang ilan.

“We have to go back to observing social distancing as these new variant are reportedly more infectious and require less contact time than previous variants for one to contract the new variant,” ayon kay Angara.

“The alarming surge in COVID-19 infections must be addressed with quicker action to deliver the shots to our health workers and other priority groups as we anticipate the arrival of more vaccines in the coming days,” ayon naman kay Poe.

Sinabi ni Poe na dapat pabilisin ang pagbabakuna kaysa sa pagkalat ng virus. “This is taking into account that the supply of the government-procured and donated doses will reach the Philippines on time.” (ESTONG REYES)
