セブではコロナウイルス感染症2019（Covid-19）の新規症例が一桁台で推移していますが、ビサヤ予防接種オペレーションセンター（VVOC）によると、セブ最大の盛大な祭りであるシヌログを1月に祝うことができるかもしれないと発表しています。
これは、セブがアラート・レベル2の下で低いCovid-19の症例数を維持し、12月までに症例が増加しないことを条件とされています。
また、その中でもワクチン接種は大切なファクターとして考えられています。
集団免疫獲得が現実的な目標として考えられており、１２月１月のホリデーシーズンに突入しますから、期待したいところです。
Cebu’s new Covid cases down to single digits
Recently, we have been hearing a lot of bad news since the start of the pandemic invasion. This time we have good news for all.
AS CEBU continues to see single-digit new cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), the Visayas Vaccination Operations Center (VVOC) said it may be possible to celebrate Sinulog, Cebu’s biggest and grandest festival, in January.
This is provided Cebu sustains its low Covid-19 case count under the relaxed Alert Level 2 and cases don’t rise by December, VVOC spokesperson Dr. Mary Jean Loreche said Monday, Nov. 8, 2021.
“Currently, one Cebu is enjoying single-digit numbers in new cases, which means our containment measures are effective, people are more aware of their participation in the adherence to minimum public health measures and the Covid-19 vaccination is very much a factor to consider,” she told SunStar Cebu.
In its case bulletin Sunday, the Department of Health Central Visayas reported just seven new cases for Cebu City; three each for Lapu-Lapu City and Mandaue City; and six for Cebu Province, which comprises 44 towns and three component cities.
This is a far cry from the situation last August when new daily cases breached 150 in Lapu-Lapu City and Mandaue City, 400 in Cebu City and 500 in Cebu Province.
Should Cebu continue on this downward trend, and with improvements in the number of vaccinated persons, Loreche said it is “highly possible to have a very merry Christmas and a Sinulog celebration.”
“For this to happen, it will take the cooperation of everyone, more so in our vaccination efforts. Supplies are adequate, and herd immunity is a goal that we can work on,” she said.
December and January are the holiday months when public mobility is expected to increase because of the Christmas season and the New Year.
According to the VVOC’s latest figures, Cebu has already administered 2,667,788 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. Loreche said 1,426,171 were administered as the first dose while 1,241,617 were administered as second dose.
