30% CAPACITY SA RELIGIOUS GATHERINGS PINAYAGAN SA METRO MANILA

Pinapayagan na ang 30 percent capacity sa mga religious gatherings sa mga lugar na nasa ilalim ng general community quarantine (GCQ).

Sinabi ni Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque, binibigyan na ng Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) ng diskresyon ang mga local government units (LGUs) na ipatupad ang 30 percent capacity mula sa dating 10 percent.

“The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Thursday, May 20, 2021, noted that the Metro Manila Council has allowed religious gatherings at 30% venue capacity. The IATF earlier allowed religious gatherings up to 10% of the venue capacity under the General Community Quarantine with heightened restrictions. Local government units, however, are given the discretion to increase the venue capacity of religious gatherings as long as these would not exceed the 30% allowable venue capacity,” ani Sec. Roque.

Kasama rin sa inaprubahan ng IATF ang gawing prayoridad na rin sa babakunahan ang mga atleta, coaches at delegadong lalahok sa Tokyo Olympics at South East Asian Games.

“Related to this, the IATF approved the Technical Working Group’s recommendation to the Interim National Immunization Technical Advisory Group (iNITAG) to prioritize the vaccination of athletes, coaches, delegates and officials bound for the Tokyo Olympics and the South East Asian Games.”

Maging ang mga frontline employees ng business process outsourcing (BPO) at frontline employees ng Commission on Elections (COMELEC) ay isasama na rin sa Priorioty Group A4.

“Also, on vaccination, the frontline employees of the business process outsourcing industry and the frontline employees of the Commission on Elections have been recommended to iNITAG to be included in the Priority Group A4,” dagdag ni Sec. Roque.

“On the other hand, liquefied petroleum gas dealers, retailers and attendants now form part of the approved Priority Group A4.2 for vaccine deployment under the “retail trade operators and frontliners.”
