Baton said that the DOH-7 maintained the opinion that minimum public health protocols had to be observed by everyone especially since a significant portion of the community had not yet been vaccinated. However, mixed-use indoor/outdoor buildings and facilities such as malls and similar establishments are not included in the allowed outdoor areas for children.
Meanwhile, the Cebu City Emergency Operations Center does not see it fit yet to adopt this new policy.
