9 Barangays in Davao City Identified as 'Very High Risk' to

Covid-19
Ralph Lawrence G. Lemit
June 6, 2020
DAVAO City being placed under “very high risk” category is due to a
significant number of cases of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), which
has now expanded to nine barangays, as of June 6.

Currently, the city's very high risk barangays are 22-C, 23-C, Agdao Proper,
Bucana, Buhangin Proper, Cabantian, Leon Garcia, Ma-a, and Talomo Proper.
Ma-a was added in the city's Covid-19 risk assessment map, which was last
updated on May 26.

The City Government also issued the list of areas under "high risk", "moderate
risk”, and "low risk" barangays.

Under high risk barangays are 5-A, 19-B, Bago Gallera, Catalunan Grande,
Matina Crossing, San Antonio, Tigatto, and Wildredo Aquino.

In close proximity to very high risk barangays are also classified under high

Aplaya, Magtuod, Tomas Monteverde, and Waan.

Included in the moderate risk barangays are 3-A, 6-A, 8-A, 10-A, 11-A,
12- B, 13-B, 14-B, 18-B, 20-B, 21-C, 27-C, 34-D, 37-D, Angliongto, Bago
Oshiro,
Baliok, Bangkas Heights, Bunawan Proper, Calinan Proper, Catalunan
Pequeño, Centro (San Juan, Agdao), Communal, Daliao, Gov. Bangoy, Gov.
Duterte, Ilang, Indangan, Langub, Mabuhay (Paquibato), Malagos, Matina
Aplaya, Matina Pangi, Mintal, Pampanga, Panacan, Rafael Castillo, Saloy, San
Antonio, San Isidro/Licanan, Sasa, Sto. Niño, Tacunan, Talomo River, Toril
Proper, and Vicente Hizon, Sr.

In close proximity to high risk barangays are also classified moderate risk
barangays. These are 2-A, Dumoy, Mandug, and Ubalde.All other barangays not
mentioned are automatically considered as low risk barangays.

The classification of barangays, according to an issued statement of the City

Government, is identified following the lifting of the district clustering that
strictly limits the travel from one cluster to another.

The lifting of the clustering system is implemented through Executive Order

No. 33 (EO) placing the entire city under general community quarantine (GCQ),
as recommended by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious
Diseases (IATF-EID).

However, the City Government advised the public to avoid unnecessary

travel to areas identified to be very high risk, high risk and moderate risk based
on the risk assessment made, including public markets (palengke),
supermarkets, and all other establishments under these areas.

According to the Davao City Operations Center for Covid-19, a formula is

used in the Covid-19 risk assessment map currently posted on the city
government’s website.

In very high risk areas, among the factors used are the following: the
population density is greater than 800 and active cases is greater than or equal
to three cases; total confirmed cases is greater than or equal to 10 cases; attack
rate per 1,000 population is greater than two; and the behavioral index,
comprising the number of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ)
violations and number of 911 calls responded that can influence going out or
crowding of persons, is greater than 200 cases.

As of press time, the City Government nor the Department of Health-Davao

Region has not yet released a breakdown per barangay.

n Using Information in
Everyday Life

Information is everywhere. The important thing is for us to know how to get
valuable information and make use of them. We look for information to make
meaning of the things that we do not understand. Moreover, we are also able to
verify whether what we already know is correct based on the different information
that we get.

In this module, you will engage in different activities that will give you a lot
of information about corona virus. These are all taken from different sources that
will help you get a good grasp about the said virus as well as learning how to use
them.

Activity 2: Points to Ponder

Read the article from World Health Organization on how one can be protected
from corona virus and do the activity that follows.

Protecting yourself and others from the spread of COVID-19

You can reduce your chances of being infected or spreading COVID-19 by taking
some simple precautions:

 Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based

hand rub or wash them with soap and water. Washing your hands with
soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on
your hands.
 Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and
others. When someone coughs, sneezes, or speaks they spray small liquid
droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too
close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the
person has the disease.
 Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Hands touch many surfaces
and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus
to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and
infect you.
 Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory
hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow
or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used tissue
immediately and wash your hands. Droplets spread virus. By following
good respiratory hygiene, you protect the people around you from viruses
such as cold, flu and COVID-19.
 Stay home and self-isolate even with minor symptoms such as
cough, headache, mild fever, until you recover. Have someone bring
you supplies. If you need to leave your house, wear a mask to avoid
infecting others.

 lOMoARcPSD|32029189

Avoiding contact with others will protect them from possible COVID-19
and other viruses.
 Avoid going to crowded places. Where people come together in
crowds, you are more likely to come into close contact with someone that
has COIVD- 19 and it is more difficult to maintain physical distance of 1
metre (3 feet).
 Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources, such
as WHO or your local and national health authorities. Why? Local and
national authorities are best placed to advise on what people in your area
should be doing to protect themselves.

Questions:

1. What is the text all about?

2. What is the purpose of the text?
3. What information from the text is similar with your answers in the
previous activity?
4. How helpful are the information to you?
5. Do you think this information comes from reliable source? How do you
know?

What is It

Information is facts about something or someone. Bear in mind that if

something is far from reality and just made up, then it is not information at all.
Informative texts, speeches, panel discussions, and news reports are all good
sources of information because they are backed up with facts.

Guided by these easy tips you will be able to get information, but the real
challenge for you is how to use them.

Now let us discuss what you did in activity 2 with these questions:

1. What is the text all about?

Yes, it is all about protecting yourself and others from the spread
of COVID-19.
This is the main idea of the text.

2. How can we protect ourselves from the virus based on the info?
Yes, there are nine ways based on the information given such as:
 Regular washing of hands with alcohol or soap and water.
 Maintaining a physical distancing of at least one meter.
 Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.

Downloaded by Jamer Ampong (jamerampong123@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|32029189

 Observe good respiratory hygiene.

 Stay home and self-isolate when not feeling well.
 Avoid going to crowded places.
 Keep up to date on the latest information from trusted sources.
These ideas are the supporting ideas or details.
Below are the tips in getting information.

 Look for the main idea – main idea is the most important point of
the topic. It can be placed in the beginning of the text, within the text,
or even at the end.
 Next is gather the supporting details – every idea is backed up
by series of supporting details. These details answer you question
that you have about the topic.
 Look for facts – the easiest way to identify the facts is to answer the
questions what, who, when, where, how, and why.

text about the use of alcohol. A rubric is provided to guide you in your work.

Advice on the safe use of alcohol-based hand

sanitizers

To protect yourself and others against COVID-19, clean your hands frequently and
thoroughly. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer or wash your hands with soap and
water. If you use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, make sure you use and store
it carefully.

o Keep alcohol-based hand sanitizers out of children’s reach. Teach them how
to apply the sanitizer and monitor its use.
o Apply a coin-sized amount on your hands. There is no need to use a
large amount of the product.
o Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose immediately after
using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, as it can cause irritation.
o Hand sanitizers recommended to protect against COVID-19 are
alcohol- based and therefore can be flammable. Do not use before
handling fire or cooking.
o Under no circumstance, drink or let children swallow an alcohol-based
hand sanitizer. It can be poisonous.
o Remember that washing your hands with soap and water is also
effective against COVID-19.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Your Excellencies, Your Majesty,
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause disruptions worldwide with far-
reaching consequences. To survive, we need to make fundamental and
systemic changes. And only a cohesive and responsive ASEAN can help us
all safely navigate out of this perfect storm of a crisis.
Greater cooperation and connectivity are vital for our region to thrive under
the new normal that COVID-19 imposes on all of us. It is in this light that I
welcome our Plan of Action on strengthening economic cooperation and
supply chain connectivity, as well as the establishment of the ASEAN COVID-
19 Response Fund.
Certainly, these measures are only the first steps towards recovery and the
continuation of our community building.
To bridge the gap between today’s crisis and the future that we want, we
must address the vulnerabilities that COVID-19 has revealed in our
systems. This pandemic has exposed the limitations of our healthcare and
social protection systems. It has laid bare the precarious situation of our
workers at home and abroad, the viability of our micro, small and medium
enterprises or MSMEs, and the weaknesses of our supply chain networks.
ASEAN has existing cooperation in these areas. Our task now is to
recalibrate our plans so we can build back better.
We must accelerate the implementation of our connectivity projects to build
resilient and sustainable regional supply chains. We have to maximize trade
facilitation initiatives to promote the growth and participation of MSMEs in
regional and global value chains.
In order to improve the competitiveness of our workers and industries,
we must have faster progress on human capital development. In this regard,
we welcome the establishment of the ASEAN TVET Council. We also want
stronger implementation of the ASEAN Consensus on the Protection and
Promotion of the Rights of Migrant Workers.
For all its uniqueness, this pandemic is unlikely to be a one-off event. We
must, therefore, strengthen our region’s capacity to address future
infectious disease outbreaks. We can do this by promoting research and
capacity-building on health technology development. We must enable the
ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity to contribute in combatting wildlife trafficking
to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases.

Your Majesty, Excellencies, not everything in the horizon is bleak. Viewed

through the lens of the environment, lockdowns have led to decreased
energy consumption, thus reducing pollution.
This pandemic has taught us that we must choose to be nature’s stewards,
not its abusers. Lockdowns have also forced us to take full advantage of
technology and innovation. The adoption of e-commerce, e-learning,
videoconferencing, and artificial intelligence have all been accelerated by the
crisis.
We expect many positive outcomes from this development. [For instance,
cross-border e-commerce] could expand the export opportunities of
businesses, especially smaller ones. Forced experimentation with remote
work could spur more services offshoring. These will spread [growth across]
regions while minimizing harm to the environment.
As in previous crises, this pandemic has opened opportunities for green
alternatives for our recovery. I join other Leaders in tasking our Ministers to
craft a recovery plan that is innovative and ambitious, and one that will lead
us to a greener and more sustainable future.
Your Excellencies, Your Majesty,
While the challenges we face due to COVID-19 are considerable, we must
never forget that there are also other threats that can further undermine our
efforts.
The pandemic has not killed terrorism. It remains alive, lurking in the
shadows. In some countries, terrorist elements strike even during
government relief operations. At a time of great need, these acts are
unconscionable. We must, therefore, be always on the alert.
We also need to prepare for disasters and natural calamities. For the
Philippines, June to September is the most active period for typhoons.
Already an effort under normal circumstances, relief activities become even
more gravely complex as we battle COVID-19.
We must also not lose sight of the geopolitical shifts that have [accelerated]
in the past six months. The rivalry between the United States and China was
already well under way before this crisis. COVID-19 added a new layer to
this complex relationship.
The Great Powers will continue to draw us into their respective camps. We
should continue to nimbly engage them in ways that most [benefit us]. We
must insist on an open and rules-based international order that gives all
countries – large or small – not just one voice, but an equal standing.
Even as our region struggles to contain COVID-19, alarming incidents in the
South China Sea occurred. We call on parties to refrain from escalating
tensions and abide by responsibilities under international law, notably the
1982 UNCLOS. We urge all parties to adhere to the rule of law and to their
commitments to international instruments, including the 2002 Declaration
on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea.
As Country Coordinator for ASEAN-China Dialogue Relations, we face real
constraints in dealing with our deliverables. We must not lose sight of strategic
interests in the [South] China Sea. We must find innovative ways and exercise

flexibility to achieve our common goals. We remain committed to work closely

with Member States and China towards the early conclusion of an effective and
substantive Code of Conduct in the South China Sea.
Your Majesty, Excellencies,
ASEAN solidarity and collective action have never been more critical than
today. We thank Viet Nam for its committed leadership of ASEAN under
difficult times.
Rest assured that the Philippines will continue working with ASEAN to
realize our shared aspiration for a peaceful, prosperous, and secure future
for our peoples.
Thank you.
