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.

Following the announcement, the Department of Transportation announced that face shields will be voluntary inside public transportation including jeeps, buses, and the MRT-3.
