While it acknowledges the efforts put in place by the Philippine government to control the recent surge in coronavirus disease infections, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund cautioned against the possible impact of keeping minors in lockdown.
UNICEF noted that while efforts to contain the spread of infections require public health and social measures, “these measures should consider the highest level of acceptability and feasibility, proven effectiveness and should minimize the negative consequences on health and well-being of all members of society.”
“Due to the restrictive containment measures adopted since the onset of the pandemic, children have lived away from members of their extended families, teachers and friends,” UNICEF said. “They have been learning from home, often confronting incredibly challenging circumstances [and] for those experiencing violence, neglect or abuse at home, lockdowns left them stranded with abusers and without the required support,” it added.
What are you going to do to me UNICEF, keep me away from my children if I elected to keep my children away from where there is high risk of getting Covid-19? Why don't you let your child out on street instead? Oh.. I've seen child beggars wondering around at the streets, U help?
we have rights under pduts?
psych doctors should check the psychological effects of quarantine and isolation on kids, if any. kids socially develop by bein and playing with kids their age and not with adults/guardians. Can kids （a low covid risk grp） handle 2more yrs indoors？
That was before the pandemic. Now is different. Think first before you speak. Shame on you!

Dear, UNCEF - so is exposing them to possible unnecessary death. 😂😂😂
Isinama ng NPA ang mga minors. Silent ang UNICEF 🤔
Rogue govt. Illegal orders. Tyranny. Communism. Fraud hoax lies health crisis. Fraud hoax medical system.
That is why the children of beggars are free to roam and beg. Thank you Unicef for this wonderful belief in times of covid19 pandemic.
The right to be sick?
The Philippines and the MM Cities have taken an approach of imprison our children without a reason. Some self called health experts like Dr Tony Leachon have backed this terrible idea.
