Two (2) questions were recently thrown by The Bohol Tribune to the netizens in relation to the Covid crisis we are in right now. The questions were part of an informal random survey.

Question No. 1:

Bohol has been priming to open again its economy after it was stalled by the enhanced community quarantine. In restarting the economy, the province may expose itself to potential epidemic risk, if the opening is done suddenly. In this connection, the netizens were asked to choose between “Economy or Health Security”.   

Question No. 2:

Netizens were asked, whether or not, they agree to the DILG directive allowing locally stranded individuals (LSIs) to go straight to their homes and have their quarantine there, instead of staying in a local government unit-managed quarantine facility (for free).
