Restrict movement of unvaxxed persons; adopt 'Bakuna Bubble' strategy --- Concepcion
Presidential Adviser Joey Concepcion supports the decision of Metro Manila mayors to restrict the mobility of unvaccinated individuals, aligning with the "Bakuna Bubble" proposal to minimize their risk of COVID-19 exposure.
The "Bakuna Bubble" concept aims to grant greater mobility to vaccinated individuals while limiting the movement of the unvaccinated to prevent severe illness.
This initiative comes as Metro Manila mayors agreed to implement a stay-at-home policy for those unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated, coinciding with the region's placement under Alert Level 3.
The private sector, through Concepcion's group, has advocated for both the "Bakuna Bubble" and mandatory vaccination.
Metro Manila is currently under Alert Level 3 until January 15 due to a surge in COVID-19 cases and the presence of the Omicron variant.
