Gov’t allows limited workshops, seminars in GCQ areas


The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) has allowed the conduct of workshops, trainings, seminars, and other related activities with limited capacity in areas under general community quarantine (GCQ).

“[It] will be permitted up to 30% venue capacity. Venues include restaurants, in general; restaurants attached to hotels; ballrooms and function halls within hotels; venues within hotel premises; and mall atria,” Presidential and IATF-EID Spokesperson Harry Roque said.
The Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) have been ordered to formulate and issue guidelines on the matter.

“Also adopted during the 87th IATF Meeting is the recommendation of the Office of the Cabinet Secretariat to implement the Safety Seal Certification Program in addition to StaySafe.ph,” Roque announced.

“All establishments, such as government offices, private companies, hotels and business establishments and public transportation units are thus required to adopt the Safety Seal,” he added. – Report from Mela Lesmoras
