mas okay na pahupain muna ang Covid bago pumunta dito for the following points:
- d mo rin naman sure kung makakalabas ka ng Pinas until then;
- pagdating dito quarantine ka, saan ka hahanap ng iyong accommodation?
- d ka rin makalabas to process ur medicare, pag d sya activated, paano na lang pag naospital ka, kuha ka private insurance?
- d ka rin makakahanap ng work, wala ka pang phone sim, d ka maka open account, d ka makakaonline grocery.
- d ka din makakahanap ng trabaho
in short makalusot ka man, mahihirapan ka pa din dito, baka maubos baon mo nyan...
just stay where you are at the moment and wait when things are back to normal.
this is an evolving phenomena, soon all will be better.
I super agree. The 14 day quarantine will limit your activities inside your home/accomodation. Otherwise if caught, you will face fines and jail time. Authorities will do random checks to see if you are really at home.
Pero, meron din ako kilala mukang nakalusot. nagBM few days ago, despite the requirement of 14-day quarantine, hala si kuya hindi sinunod. Nag grocery naghanap ng tissue and essential items, nagpunta sa market to buy food, sumakay ng public transportation, namasyal na agad kung saan saan. Hindi din nag mask para naman kung asymptomatic sya hindi sya makahawa. Pinost pa sa facebook ang pictures. BUT OF COURSE YOU DONT WANT TO BE THIS KIND OF PERSON given this Covid situation? And remember the consequences: fines, jailtime and matic yan pasok sa criminal record.
For me, if you can have means to afford to BM and discipline to be quarantined for 14 days, why not, BM na đŸ™‚ đŸ™‚ . Arrange your accomodation prior to getting here or stay in hotel maybe. Have someone buy your necessities, groceries and food (take note: walang grocery online shopping and delivery in some areas at the moment). You can enroll din naman in private health insurance na pwede weekly ang coverage, term and payment.
As for the job hunting, definitely several industries will be affected like hospitality and tourism, if dito ka belong prepare to be jobless for a while. Pero if nasa health industry ka, in demand ka for sure. As for my industry, accounting, I started applying beginning of March, so far wala pa mga callback. I did receive few emails from some companies that they will not have face-to-face interviews at the moment, pero they will arrange for video call interviews.
As per Prime Minister national address this morning, he wants everthing to be as if business as usual, he wants people to continue to work, the kids to go to school and keep economy and businesses running. So sana, and I hope, companies will continue recruiting.
