Philippines’ Duterte tells children to stay home and watch TV as new coronavirus strain hits

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has reimposed orders for children aged 10 to 14 to stay home as the country battles an outbreak of the British variant of the coronavirus. Last Friday, the government's coronavirus task force lifted the stay-at-home orders for children, but Duterte on January 25, 2021, overturned the decision and told children to watch TV at home instead.
