NANGANGAMBA ang OCTA Research sa ipatutupad ng granular lockdown sa Metro Manila dahil posibleng makaapekto ito sa layunin ng pamahalaan na makontrol ang pagkalat ng coronavirus disease.
“We’re concerned that if this does not work, at a point when we’re actually seeing that the curve might plateau soon in two to three weeks, there’s a chance that we might lose effective control of the pandemic and it will become much worse than it is,” ayon kay Octa research fellow Dr. Guido David sa isang panayam sa telebisyon.
“We’re not saying it will happen but we’re saying that — you know, based on history — there’s a significant chance that it may happen,” dagdag pa ni David.
Paliwanag nito na malaki ang maitutulong ng granular lockdown sa maliliit na setup lamang na may kakaunting kaso ng impeksyon.
“Regarding the granular lockdowns in the past, we have not seen evidence that it has been effective when we have a widespread community transmission,” dagdag pa nito.
“Granular lockdowns would work if it’s concentrated in certain regions. For example, if you have only 40 percent of your barangays with new cases, then it’s feasible that you can impose the granular lockdowns and it may be effective,” anya pa.
