my husband went to the bank today and there was a long queue. Looked like people were panicking again. Perhaps withdrawing their money in preparation for the upcoming lockdown(just hearsay)
he heard that a lot of people were talking about lockdown. the government simply said it was fake news. The same thing they said 2 years ago but they indeed put the whole Metro Manila under strict lockdown.
are you ready for the possible lockdown?

We have restrictions in place, less customers allowed in non-essential stores, and things like that, but we are not having another lockdown.
Here merchants are not so likely to accept cash, there are many other methods of payment.
I am confident that things will remain as they are right now, which isn't the greatest, but it is not a lockdown.

With the current trend right now is looks like they will be forced to lockdown again unless the current trend will reverse then the government might just not choose the lockdown once again since it is costly and counterproductive to the economy. But it will be dependent on how the people respond to government protocols that we have in place.

I don't think we'll go into another lockdown like we did back in 2020 but with the virus spreading as rapidly as it is it could still be a possibility. Right now the schools have gone back to online classes. They say two weeks but it could be longer. Hope you don't go back into another lockdown.

I am sorry that you may have to go through a lockdown. There was talk here but not sure. Now, it is time for the 4th booster and then it was said that in March we will get a vaccine against the Omicron. Sounds like the Govt is not telling you something. If there is another lockdown here then we can go out for food and if we need medicines and essentials they call it.
