Go was with the President during the latter ’s meeting with some members of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Emerging Infectious Diseases at Malacañang on Monday night.
“The fight is not yet over. The pandemic is still here. That’s why I’m urging everyone not to be complacent. Let’s follow heath protocols like social distancing and the use of face mask,” Go, chairman of the Senate committee on health and demography, said.
“Let’s help each other. While government maximizes its limited resources, a lot of our fellow Filipinos have also lost jobs, livelihood and savings. We are fighting for survival – survival is the name of the game here,” the senator added.
Duterte approved the recommendation of the IATF regarding the respective quarantine levels of various areas in the country, noting continued significant numbers of COVID-19 infection cases in major areas, particularly Metro Manila and Cebu City.
In his televised message before midnight Monday, Duterte said it’s no longer the fault of the government if the health crisis gets worse due to people’s violation of quarantine restrictions.
