Quezon City Tags Several Parks As “Child-Friendly Safe Zone” Following MGCQ
“CHILD-FRIENDLY SAFE ZONE” – Recently, Quezon City tags the following parks as a safe zone for children amid the lowered COVID-19 restrictions.
After allowing children aged 5 and up to visit areas under general community quarantine (GCQ) and modified general community quarantine (MGCQ), Quezon City has designated several open-air areas in the city as “child friendly safe zones” that kids can visit.
Children can play, exercise, and participate in non-contact sports in these areas, according to the local government. However, children must be accompanied by an adult who is fully vaccinated and has their vaccination card.
According to Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte, this is a response to the youth’s need for games and exercise outside the home, which will allow them to grow even in the midst of a pandemic.
Currently, the Quezon Memorial Circle, Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center, Quezon City Hall’s urban farming area, Amoranto Stadium, and 15 local parks in various barangays are all part of the safe zones.
Incoming groups are limited to a maximum of ten people. According to the city, the safe zone designation can still be revoked if a violation is discovered or the number of COVID-19 cases in the area rises.
