MANILA–The Philippines enters “Phase 3” of the Duterte government’s plan to address the coronavirus pandemic in the month of October, a phase that will involve allowing more businesses to operate and more people to leave their homes while abiding by health protocols.
This was what National Action Plan Against COVID-19 chief implementer Carlito Galvez Jr explained on Thursday, October 8, during a Malacañang press briefing.
“Phase 3 will be our transition plan to the new normal from the last quarter of this year rolling down the road towards the first quarter of 2021,” he said.
Phase 3 will thus last from October to March 2021, assuming significant spikes in COVID-19 infections don’t derail this timeline.
