The front-liners are health care workers, hospital staff, sanitation workers, garbage collectors, food industry personnel, delivery service workers, security guards, and government employees. While most of us are at home, they are risking their health and their lives in order to stop the spread of the 2019 novel Coronavirus disease (Covid-19). While they work more hours and days than they should all for the safety and health of everyone, the least we can do is to stay at home, practice proper hygiene, and encourage others to do the same.
The number of Covid-19 cases are still on the rise with the country’s total at 3,246 as of 4:00 pm on April 05, 2020 (DOH). The number of positive Covid-19 cases in Davao City is at sixty-five (65) as of 8:00pm on April 05, 2020 (DOH). An Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) has been implemented in Davao City and it will last from 9:00 pm of April 04, 2020 until 11:59 pm of April 19, 2020.
People are risking their lives to care for those already infected with the virus and to stop it from spreading any further. They are working themselves to the bone all for us. If we disregard quarantine guidelines, we are invalidating all the progress our front-liners have worked so hard to achieve and we are also jeopardizing not only our lives but the lives of those around us. Let us not be selfish and careless, especially during a crisis like this. The sooner we follow ECQ guidelines, the sooner that this crisis will be over.
