President Rodrigo Duterte has approved recommendations to ease the Philippines’ policy on using face shields. This was further detailed in a memorandum issued by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea to the pandemic task force.
Under the new order, the use of face shields in areas at Alert Level 1-3 will be voluntary.
Meanwhile, at Alert Level 4, LGUs and private establishments are given discretion regarding the use of a face shield. Areas under Alert Level 5 or granular lockdowns, however, will have face shields mandatory.
In case you’re lost track, Metro Manila is under Alert Level until November 30, 2021.
Read the full memorandum below:
Following the announcement, the Department of Transportation announced that face shields will be voluntary inside public transportation including jeeps, buses, and the MRT-3.
