Duterte warns of new lockdown if Delta variant causes surge in COVID-19 cases

BONZ MAGSAMBOL MANILA, PHILIPPINES
However, the President's public address – which ran for nearly three hours – fails
to mention the government's game plan against the Delta variant President
Rodrigo Duterte on Monday, July 26, warned of a new lockdown if the highly-
transmissible COVID-19 Delta variant spreads in the country.
Delta (variant), if ever it will spread.... If something wrong happens, I have to be
strict and I have now my word that there will be, just like what happened in the
early days," Duterte said in his sixth and final State of the Nation Address
(SONA). Despite his own warning, Duterte contradicted himself when he said in
the same speech that the country could not afford more lockdowns. "We have
spent enormous amounts of resources to build our capacity to overcome this
pandemic. We cannot afford more lockdowns," he said. The Delta variant, which
was first detected in India, is ravaging Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia,
Thailand, and Malaysia. The Philippines now has 119 known cases of the highly
transmissible variant, but there are concerns that the actual number may be far
higher, as the Philippine Genome Center is only sequencing a small percentage
of the positive cases. To prevent further local transmission of the Delta variant,
the government has imposed travel bans where it is widespread.
