MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): Business leaders on Wednesday (July 28) supported a proposal to impose a two-week hard lockdown in Metro Manila by August in the face of high risks posed by the Covid-19 Delta variant, adding that the “ghost month” is the best time tod do it.
Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion backed the suggestion of OCTA Research, which stressed that an early “circuit breaker” lockdown in the nation’s capital region could stop the possible spread of what has been described as the most transmissible variant of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 which causes Covid-19.
