Shift to GCQ will depend on COVID-19 data, Trade Chief says

endIndex: Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 4) Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez on Tuesday said improving COVID-19 figures will dictate if parts of the country can shift to a more relaxed community quarantine status even as his fellow economic manager pushes for a shift from MECQ to GCQ by this month. He said the shift can happen by mid-May or at the end of the month if new COVID-19 cases go down and if the critical care capacity in Metro Manila and nearby areas improves. Even after May 15, everything will depend on numero na bumababa ang COVID cases, yung r-naught (reproductive number), tsaka kung dumami na ang libreng ICU beds, that will allow us to scale down or deescalate sa GCQ. It will depend, in the end, sa numero, he told CNN Philippines.

The virus is also not spreading as fast as it used to, according to data crunchers. But the cost has been devastating to an economy that ratings firm Moody s believes is already in a worrisome state . The government slapped sweeping restrictions in Metro Manila and four nearby provinces, an area covering a quarter of the nation s population, from March 29 to April 11 to slow a new outbreak far worse than last year s.
