QUEZON CITY, (PIA) -- Metro Manila will remain under the most lenient Alert Level 1 until April 15, Malacañang announced on Thursday, March 31.
Acting Presidential Spokesperson and Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said this, after the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) agreed to retain the Alert Level 1 classification in Metro Manila.
“The Inter-Agency Task Force on Thursday, March 31, 2022, approved the April 1 to 15, 2022 Alert Level Classification of provinces, highly urbanized cities (HUCs), and independent component cities (ICCs),” Andanar said.
Under Alert Level 1, movement of persons, regardless of age and comorbidities, is allowed, but with restrictions on crowded and closed spaces and close contact (3Cs) settings.
Private establishments and government agencies are allowed to operate at full on-site capacity, subject to minimum public health standards.
The IATF-EID is still mandating the public to wear well-fitted face masks, except when eating and drinking; participating in team and individual sports in venues where ventilation standards can be maintained; and practicing outdoor sports or exercise activities where physical distance can still be observed.
People aged 18 and above must present proof of full vaccination before participating in mass gatherings or entry into indoor establishments like churches, restaurants, fitness studios and gyms, indoor cinemas, meetings and exhibition venues, wedding receptions, birthday parties, hotels and other accommodation establishments, and venues for election-related events.
Individuals who are at least 18 years old are also required to present proof of full vaccination before entry in confined spaces with poor ventilation; crowded places with no physical distancing; and close-contact settings with face-to-face interaction.
Health Secretary Francisco Duque III earlier said many areas of the country will likely stay under Alert Level 1 until the end of President Rodrigo Duterte’s term in June 2022. (PIA-NCR)
