PEOPLE RESIDING in the National Capital Region (NCR) Plus can now visit gyms and historical sites, Malacañang said on Friday.
This, after the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) approved Thursday the partial reopening of gyms and other indoor non-contact sports, as well as the historical sites and museums, in NCR Plus.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, also acting as IATF-EID spokesperson, said indoor non-contact sports can operations at “30 percent” of the venue capacity.
“The Inter-Agency Task Force on Thursday, June 10, 2021, allowed the opening of indoor non-contact sports venues with Safety Seal Certifications such as gyms, fitness studios, skating rinks, and racket sports courts in the National Capital Region Plus areas at 30 percent venue capacity,” Roque said in a press statement.
Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal, otherwise known as NCR Plus, is currently under general community quarantine (GCQ) “with restrictions.”
The IATF-EID initially decided to order the temporary closure of gyms in NCR Plus until mid-June to avoid any “super spreader” event that might lead to another spike in the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) infections.
Roque said the IATF-EID also allowed historical sites and museums in NCR Plus to operate up to 20 percent of the venue capacity.
He, however, said their opening is still subject to the local government units’ approval.
“Also allowed to open are historical sites and museums in the NCR Plus areas at 20 percent venue capacity following health and safety protocols and the approval of the local government unit where these sites may be situated,” he said.
Guided tours in historical sites and museums remain prohibited, Roque said. (Ruth Abbey Gita-Carlos and Joyce Ann L. Rocamora)
