No plan to impose stricter quarantine outside NCR Plus
MALACAÑANG RULED out Thursday the possibility of a more restrictive quarantine measure in areas outside the National Capital Region Plus (NCR Plus).
This, after the Department of Health reported an increase of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases in five regions apart from the NCR Plus which covers Metro Manila Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Rizal.
In an online press briefing, Health Secretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said there was an upward trend of Covid-19 infections in Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, and Cordillera Administrative Region.
While the government is monitoring the situation in areas outside NCR Plus, it does not see the need to impose stricter quarantine rules in the entire Luzon, Roque said.

F2F campaign’s fate depends on success of vaccine program
THE HOLDING of the traditional face-to-face campaigning for the upcoming 2022 elections is still possible, depending on the success of the government’s mass immunization drive, Malacañang said on Thursday.
In a virtual presser, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in-person campaigns could still be done, if the government reaches its goal to vaccinate “100 percent” of the adult population.
“We are aiming to vaccinate 100 percent of our adult population within the year of 2021. So
syempre hindi mo naman mababalewala na kung tayo makakamit natin yung target
na ‘yun, eh baka maibsan ang ating mga alinlangan sa face-to-face campaigning (So of course, we cannot discount the possibility that we might consider face-to-face campaigning if we are able to reach our target),” Roque said.
