As guide in the decision-making process and development of more specific sectoral policies for COVID-19 responses, it aims to: 1) promote confidence in health systems; 2) rebuild consumer and business confidence; 3) formulate policies and programs to adapt to a new normal state of economic activities; 4) reduce uncertainties through provision of right and timely information to the public; and 5) estimate the cost of future preparedness including determining the role of public health insurance. Conveying the right information to the public to gain public trust and confidence. Foremost in the RRP is for the government to build people’s confidence by providing them access to timely, accurate and relevant information. This will be achieved by providing the framework, protocols, guidelines and strategies for effectively communicating information to the public along the different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic and future crises. To convey accurate and timely information to the public, Davao Region shall develop an official portal or dashboard for COVID-19 related matters. All information will be harmonized in one platform to ease the public’s access. Mitigating Losses. To obtain a good grasp of the overall situation in the Region, the impact of the implementation of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) was assessed as the preventive actions had immediate and significant impact on the region’s social and economic sectors. Defining the New Normal. Davao Region adheres to the World Health Organization’s (WHO)- recommended criteria on easing restrictions, the new normal is defined as: a) transmission of the disease is controlled, b) health system capacities are in place to detect, test, isolate, and treat every case and trace every contact, c) outbreak risks are minimized in special settings like health facilities and nursing homes d) preventive measures are in place in workplaces, schools, and other places where it is essential for people to go, e) importation risks can be managed and f) communities are fully educated, engaged, and empowered to adjust to the “new norm.” Characterizing the New Normal. The threat of COVID-19 remains even after ECQ is lifted. The public, therefore, shall embrace new norms in doing things in order to limit the spread of the virus. The Region’s Political, Economic, Social, Technology, Legal and Environment aspects have been characterized as it navigates toward the new normal through appropriate policies and interventions. Davao Region Recovery and Resiliency Program to Mitigate Losses from COVID-19 and to Adapt to the New Normal, 2020-2022 | xiii Strategies. The Region shall adapt a phased and adaptive approach in its recovery program based on the national government’s strategy as well as employ a whole-of-society approach to adapt to the new normal while ensuring that its interventions are government-led, LGU- enabled and people-centered Major Programs and Projects.
