- 2. Maria: Have you read the Facebook post circulating online since April 2 ? It was confirmed that the COVID UK Variant has already reached our neighboring town, Lucban, Quezon. According to my friend who resides in the said town, the alleged person who was tested positive is a medical professional who attended to a diseased patient. I am worried about my relatives who live there. I hope they are fine.
- 3. Joseph: I think you are worrying for nothing, because earlier today, April 4, 2021, I have read some news from the inquirer.net published by news correspondent Delfin T. Mallari Jr. Based on the article, the Municipal Health Office of Lucban had clarified the said issue. According to them, the mayor only wanted to quote one of the medical professionals who attended to the deceased patient that there is a big possibility that it was caused by a UK Variant, but there is no confirmatory test performed yet. They have also added that they are already trying to process a genome sequencing of a direct contact of the late patient and the local chief executive only wanted the residents to be vigilant and safe.

- 14. Duterte warns of new lockdown if Delta variant causes surge in COVID-19 cases JUL 26, 2021 8:10 PM PHT 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.
