Best Posts in Thread: Questions Concerning Quarantine Rules and Guidelines - Business Hours

It is Wednesday, March 3, 2021. PHO-PESU/Doc Liland reported live this afternoon that laboratory test results received today indicate that NegOr-CoVid19 Patient #1631 is among Dumaguete City's 8 newly recovered cases. Thanks be to God for the healing and thank you all for pausing in prayer! He now has natural immunity and so, even if he is 81 years old, he should be able to travel safely back to USA via Cebu or Manila. God is good. God bless Patient #1631! God bless America!

 

Today's catch, as related by Dr. Estación was quite large. Of note, a student proposing to travel, caught asymptomatic. A one-year-old, Lo-oc Dumaguete, hospitalized with pneumonia. A nurse, hospitalized. This last is especially concerning: still a lack of PPE? (Personal Protective Equipment).

The press asked, Why is Negros Or. considered low priority to receive vaccine, because of supposedly low case numbers. Dr. Estación says we are prepared and ready to receive vaccine. Much more that I could not follow. NCR is high priority, she notes.

 

Wife got her Philippine senior citizen card at 60 and her US SSI at 62. She automatically got Phil Health at 60 as a senior CITIZEN.

 

Does this mean me being over 60 I'm allowed to go out for exercise walking? From what I understand after reading this is us old guys just not allowed on playing courts. I'm going crazy locked up like this.

 

don't forget that the testing will cost you thousands of pesos. at least a significant higher price than what a test kit costs originally. happens already in other places. business? as usual. in exceptional times...

 

I agree 100% it is going to be total chaos if they extend the lockdown beyond April 13 but I can guarantee you if my house is broken into there well be no resistance from me if they want a little food and money I well gladly oblige, just don,t harm my family.

 

Well it wasn't ME that said that! ;-)

You have to take into consideration who is issuing what rule or rules. Someone posted something trying to point that out - the fact that there are, just like in many of our home countries, multiple levels of authority.

You have a pass issued by Bacong - it really just has significance in Bacong.

You posted something regarding the Clusters - that's issued by the NegOR provincial government, so that's applicable to all LGUs (within NegOr). BUT, it doesn't preclude more specific restrictions being issued by LGUs, it doesn't say 'access at all times'. What it really says to me is 'no travel between clusters'.

It's really no different than the way things work where most of us come from - different rules being established at different levels. Sometimes those rules may even conflict, just as they seem to be when comparing your non-Duma pass with Duma's entry rules.

You're from Cluster 1, so you can enter Duma on the dates/times already posted. How/When your own LGU restricts you is of no concern to Duma. I don't *think*. haha!

 

My partner just tried to go to Hypermart from Valencia and was stopped at the Dumaguete checkpoint. He was told that peopple from Valencia can only go to Dumaguete on Tuesday afternoon, THursday morning and Sunday. He needed to get a prescription, and the check point told him to use a pharmacy in Valencia. Not to be outdone, my partner answered that it was out of stock. The supervisor made an exception and let him through. Where does anyone find this information on who can go where and when? The governor's office should pre-empt authorities at lower levels, develop and publish a plan, override the restrictions and telll the Dumaguete mayor to go pound sand.
