Cinemas, other recreational establishments now open at 30% capacity

By Pearl Gumapos

Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Undersecretary Ireneo Vizmonte on Friday (Oct. 15) said that cinemas and other recreational facilities like internet cafes, arcades, and swimming pools may now operate at 30% capacity.

“Mahalaga pong malaman natin na nabibilang ito sa mga indoor operation so kailangan vaccinated po iyong mga patrons and customers. Ganon din po iyong mga workers,” he said.

Vizmonte said that health guidelines must be continuously implemented in these establishments.

“Isa po sa mahalagang gusto nating i-implement na guidelines dito ay kailangan po talaga mayroong distance between manonood. Dapat may magandang air exchange o ventilation dahil alam po natin na ang mga sinehan ay saradong lugar kaya mahalaga ang air exchange and ventilation. Tuloy-tuloy po ang pagsuot ng face mask. Hindi po pwede tanggalin kaya pinagbabawal po ang pagkain,” he said.

“Marami tayong particular guidelines. Itong mga guidelines na ito, naaayon sa physical distancing at pagkakaroon ng safety officer dito sa mga establishment na ito,” Vizmonte added. -rir
