The government has begun rolling out the second phase of its National Action Plan (NAP) aimed at better managing the country’s coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) crisis, a Cabinet official said on Saturday, as it reels from a continued surge in infections and a historic recession.

This comes as a representative of the medical community said she and her fellow health care frontliners were satisfied with the government’s response a week after they called for a return to modified enhanced community quarantine to rethink and recalibrate their Covid-19 action plans.
