+ January 14, 2021 DEPARTMENT of Health (DOH) Secretary Francisco Duque III on Thursday, January 14, 2021, said the current community quarantine classifications will remain despite the detection of the highly contagious B.1.1.7 Sars-CoV-2 variant in the country.
He said any changes would depend on data analytics and recommendations of experts to the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases.
The IATF is set to meet Thursday night to discuss developments related to the first B.1.1.7 case in the country.
Duque said, however, that he will recommend the inclusion of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the list of countries covered by travel restrictions until January 15.

Around 375,000 Quezon City residents are expected to benefit from the two-dose vaccine.
In December 2020, the QC LGU announced that they were allocating P1-billion for the procurement of COVID-19 vaccines, syringes, personal protective equipment (PPE) sets, and other items needed for its vaccination program.
Belmonte said the city government will prioritize the city’s 10,000 health workers, 300,000 senior citizens, 20,000 adult persons with disabilities, and other priority sectors as recommended by the World Health Organization in their immunization program.
The Quezon City mayor thanked the city council for its swift passage of a resolution authorizing her to enter into a tripartite agreement with the National Task Force Against COVID-19 and the AstraZeneca.
