The health cluster is scheduled to convene on Wednesday to discuss plans on the latest wearing of face mask policy mandated by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
Dr. Ashley Lopez, head of the City Health Office , said Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte already said to comply with the recommendations from the Inter-Agency Task Force. President Marcos issued Executive Order No. 7, allowing the voluntary wearing of face masks in indoor and outdoor settings. Minimum public health standards shall continue to be implemented, including practice of good hygiene, frequent hand-washing, physical distancing, and maintenance of good ventilation indoors.
“We will convene on Wednesday to talk about this but mayor already said before that we will comply kung unsa man update coming from IATF,” Lopez said in a text message.Meanwhile, the Department of Health 11 reminded the public that with the expected influx of people to the cemeteries and even though the restrictions on wearing of facemask have been relaxed – It’s not bad if the public continue to be careful.
