As our country faced the coronavirus pandemic, several countermeasures were imposed

to stop its spread. As such, President Duterte imposed an enhance community quarantine.
There are so many ways on how this virus transmitted. The concept of quarantine is radically
embedded in local and global health practices and culture, attracting heightened interest during
episodes of perceived of actual epidemics. Quarantine is different from isolation, which is the
separation of ill or infected persons from others to prevent spread of infection or contamination.

If you are potentially infectious, it is important that you separate yourself from your
housemates. There is nothing wrong to follow the fourteen days’ self-quarantine after the long
travel from Manila for the following reasons:

LESSEN THE NUMBER OF INFECTED PERSONS. Viruses don’t travel, people do. So
intuitively, we expect that imposing physical space barriers will work to eradicate infection.
However, the effectiveness of quarantine during a viral outbreak relies on the timing and
accuracy of the quarantine period, as well as the ability of individuals and health care providers
to follow quarantine procedures. The current evidence-base is limited, and Covid-19 infection
trends raise critical questions about implementation effectiveness. Our family is so much
important to us. If we will not follow the protocol they will be the first persons to be infected.

THIS WILL MONITOR YOU PROPERLY. In China, 70 to 80 percent of transmission

occurred within family clusters, according to the World Health Organizations. Keeping an eye on
your health is the best way to monitor if you are totally infected with this virus. In our case you
have to submit yourself to the Barangay Health Workers for you to be monitored. Surely the
government will be very happy of this action. You have to be honest in answering the questions
especially on how you feel or is there any sign of symptoms

BECAUSE YOU ARE A GOOD CITIZEN. For you to be identify as a good citizen you
need to follow those simple rules and regulations imposed by the community and local leaders.
This is the most important thing that we should do because it all started here. Your children will
follow the right path if this happens. Proper way to report and communicating the community
health workers only shows that you obey the policies. In this case there is a greater chance of
reducing the amount of Covid-19 cases in your community. Showing the latest news from
televisions and listening to the radio stations where violators of the different implemented rules
mentioned truly gave negative impact of Filipino values and personality. Be one of the good side
and a good influence to others.

It may sound like a vacation from reality, an ideal time to hang on your family and catch
up on sleep. In fact, it’s not easy to lock yourself away from family and friends. There are
practical and logistical challenges, and yawning gaps in the official advice that make it even
harder. Home quarantine can be unpleasant and will probably last for how many weeks, which
is the presumed incubation period of the virus. It is especially challenging if you have young
children or elderly relatives to care for, or live in cramped quarters with a lot of roommates. After
this quarantine, when dust has settled and the world begins to rebuild from their losses, let us
look back on the pandemic as a reminder that we should move forward for the better. We must
keep our faith and trust to our Creator.
