MANILA, Philippines — Senator Sherwin Gatchalian on Monday proposed “strict” localized lockdowns led by local government units (LGU) to curb the spike of COVID-19 cases in the country.
On Twitter, Gatchalian issued five suggestions that could “[s]top the COVID surge.”
He called for “strict LGU-led localize[d] lockdowns,” saying the imposition of an enhanced community quarantine, the most stringent quarantine qualification, would be “painful.”
Further, the senator said no gatherings “whatsoever” should be allowed.
