MANILA, Philippines — The government’s pandemic task force has adopted a ten-point policy agenda that aims to sustain the economic recovery from the pandemic and has ordered state agencies to ensure that all programs are consistent with its principles.
The decision is contained in Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) Resolution No. 166 issued last Tuesday and is in line with Executive Order No. 166 signed by President Rodrigo Duterte last month.

The IATF has also adopted the recommendation of its data analytics sub-technical working group for workplaces to continue reporting COVID-19 cases to their respective local epidemiology and surveillance units pending the completion of the pilot implementation of the sentinel surveillance systems.
