National Task Force Against COVID-19 chief Carlito Galvez Jr. apologized to Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte for blaming the city's home quarantine policy for the rise in COVID-19 cases.
Galvez clarified that Mayor Duterte-Carpio has long prohibited home quarantine in Davao City.
He acknowledged that the mayor's stance corrects the task force's earlier understanding that home quarantine was a major reason for the surge in cases.
Galvez apologized for any adverse impact the task force's analysis may have inadvertently caused.
He assured the city government of the task force's readiness to assist in strengthening testing, contact tracing, treatment, and isolation capacity to address the surge.
