OCTA doubts efficacy of granular lockdowns

OCTA Research Fellow Guido David says granular lockdowns may not be effective as COVID-19 has spread across multiple communities.

David suggests that granular lockdowns could have been effective if the pandemic was limited to one or a few barangays.

DOH Epidemiology Director Alethea De Guzman recommends stricter contact tracing and active case finding to mitigate cases.

Meanwhile, DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire supports granular lockdowns, stating they help focus efforts on high-risk areas while promoting economic activity.
