Manila Mayor Isko Moreno-Domagoso convened yesterday all local government health officials of the city and discussed how the city could prepare for another possible lockdown to prevent the spread of the deadly Delta variant of COVID-19.

“The City of Manila has actually been preparing for the worst-case scenario over the past few months. Kahit nung hindi pa nagka-surge, we have kept on adding to our quarantine facilities and other resources in response to the pandemic. Hindi talaga dapat maging kampante,” said Domagoso

The Mayor coordinated with six district hospitals in Manila and instructed the Manila Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Office, the Manila Barangay Bureau, and the Manila Police Department to alert its forces in case of another surge in COVID-19 cases.

“Ayaw na nating marinig na may mga namatay sa parking lot dahil wala nang space sa ospital. Grabeng dagdag pasakit ‘yun,” Domagoso said.

“Kaya ngayon na may Delta variant, it’s a good thing that we have a facility that can serve the public. Welcome po ang lahat dito,” the Mayor added.
