SINUSUPORTAHAN ng Joint Task Force COVID Shield ang panukalang pagbabawal sa panga-caroling ng mga kabataan ngayong kapaskuhan sanhi ng nararanasan pa rin COVID-19 pandemic.
Gayunpaman, ayon kay P/ Lt. General Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar, commander ng JTF COVID Shield, inaantabayanan nila ang magiging desisyon ng Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) kaugnay sa nasabing panukala.
“Caroling has always been part of the Filipino tradition, I believe each and every one of us has his or her funny and meaningful stories of caroling especially when we were children. But the situation is currently different. We are facing a serious threat of Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) and we in the JTF COVID Shield believe that it is in the health interest of everybody if we could just stay home and enjoy the Yuletide season with our family,” giit ni Eleazar.
Maging si Interior and Local Government Secretary Eduardo Año, siya ring Vice Chairman ng National Task Force on COVID-19 ay sinusuportahan ang caroling ban ngayong taon.
“Based on studies and statistics, the spread of COVID-19 is more likely to occur in mass singing like choir and caroling because singers have to remove their masks as they sing and viruses are released through aerosols,” ani Año.
Kaugnay nito, inatasan ni Philippine National Police Chief General Camilo Pancraitus Cascolan, ang lahat ng police commanders na makipag koordinasyon sa kanilang mga nasasakupang Local Government Unit (LGUs) kaugnay sa pangangaroling.
Kung sakaling mapagtibay ang caroling ban, hinikayat ni Eleazar ang mga magulang na ipaliwanag sa mga bata na may na pansamantalang ipagbabawal ang traditional caroling ngayong taon. VERLIN RUIZ
