Undersecretary Epimaco Densing Jr. said local officials were consulted before the agency’s decision. Densing added that they will release a memorandum urging local governments to pass an ordinance penalizing protocol violators.
“Magpapalabas na ho kami ng memorandum sa lahat ng ating lokal na gobyerno na magpasa ng ordinansa na magpaparusa sa mga taong lalabas ng bahay at naglalakad sa kanilang lokal na gobyerno na hindi nagpapractice ng minimum public health standards, kasama ng mga manlalakbay,” Densing said.
Desing said that the observance of minimum health standards such as wearing face masks, face shields, and practicing social distancing prevents 90 percent of getting infected with coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
“Basta po tayo ay nagpapractice ng minimum health standards, 95 percent na tsansa na di tayo mahahawa o makakapanghawa sa sinuman,” he said.
“Ang importante dito mga disiplina. Kahit di kayo opisyales ng barangay, sabihan niyo po ang inyong kapitbahay, kaibigan, o kahit di niyo kilala na ‘pag di sila nag-practice ng minimum health standards makakapangahawa sila,” he added.
