PRESIDENTIAL Adviser for Entrepreneurship and Go Negosyo founder Jose Maria "Joey" Concepcion 3rd expressed his support to the shift of National Capital Region (NCR) to implement "granular lockdowns," or the localized strict implementation of restrictions, led by various local government units in Metro Manila.
"I agree with the government's move towards granular lockdowns, which will be [a] data-driven approach to halt the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) spread. It is the time that we try new approaches, and clearly, this is the time when we need to learn to live with Covid-19. This will be around for quite some time, and if we don't learn to live with it, then we'll lose the war. This is the reason why I am proposing to test the 'bakuna bubble.' This is the same approach that the government is doing now. With granular lockdowns, our bakuna bubble starts with the family bubble by getting them all vaccinated. We can get the business bubble by having all of our employees vaccinated and, of course, the transport sector as well by getting all frontliners vaccinated," Concepcion stressed.
