MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) has allowed mass gatherings for religious purposes to partially resume in areas placed under general community quarantine, Malaca\u00f1ang said on Friday.<\/p>\n

Members of the IATF-EID, in a meeting held Thursday, agreed to allow the resumption of religious activities in GCQ zones but only at 10 percent seating capacity, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said during the Laging Handa program aired on state-run PTV-4.<\/p>\n

\u201cPara naman po sa talagang gusto nang magsimba, pinayagan din po ang<\/em>\u00a0religious gatherings\u00a0pero hanggang<\/em>\u00a010 percent\u00a0lang po. At ito po ay epektibo sa<\/em>\u00a0July 10, 2020\u00a0sa<\/em>\u00a0areas\u00a0na<\/em>\u00a0GCQ (For those who really want to attend mass, religious gatherings are now allowed but only at 10 percent capacity. This is effective on July 10, 2020, for areas under GCQ),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The IATF-EID initially issued guidelines in May, which permit the conduct of religious gatherings in areas under MGCQ and GCQ, provided that the number of participants is limited to only five and 10, respectively.<\/p>\n

In June, the IATF-EID approved Resolution 43, which authorizes religious services at \u201c50 percent of the seating capacity\u201d in places under MGCQ.<\/p>\n

Roque said mass gatherings for religious purposes in areas put under MGCQ remain allowed, so long as participants are limited to 50 percent of the venue capacity.<\/p>\n

He reminded the public anew to observe strict social distancing and use a face mask when they go to church.<\/p>\n

\u201cImportante po na sundin natin ang mga<\/em>\u00a0minimum public health standards\u00a0tulad ng<\/em>\u00a0social distancing,\u00a0pagsusuot ng<\/em>\u00a0face mask, at iba pa (It\u2019s important to follow minimum public health standards, such as social distancing and use of face mask, among others),\u201d Roque said.<\/p>\n

The IATF-EID relaxed its quarantine rules in June when it allowed more industries to reopen to enable the country to recover from the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) crisis.<\/p>\n

Only Cebu City was placed under enhanced community quarantine, the most stringent community quarantine, until July 15 due to the continuing increase in the number of Covid-19 infections in the area.<\/p>\n

The GCQ was implemented in Metro Manila, Benguet, Cavite, Rizal, Lapu-Lapu City, Mandaue City, Ormoc, Leyte, Southern Leyte, and Cebu\u2019s Talisay City, Minglanilla, and Consolacion.<\/p>\n

The MGCQ with \u201cstrict local action\u201d was imposed in Abra, Baguio City, Ifugao, Kalinga, Ilocos Norte, La Union, Pangasinan, Cagayan, Isabela, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Angeles City, Batangas, Laguna, Quezon, Lucena City, Palawan, Puerto Princesa City, Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and Naga City.<\/p>\n

Capiz, Iloilo City, Negros Occidental, Bacolod City, Cebu province, Bohol, Negros Oriental, Tacloban City, Western Samar, Zamboanga City, Zamboanga del Sur, Bukidnon, Misamis Occidental, Misamis Oriental, and Cagayan de Oro were also placed under stricter MGCQ.<\/p>\n

MGCQ with \u201cstrict local action\u201d was likewise implemented in Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao City, Davao de Oro, Cotabato, South Cotabato, Agusan del Norte, Butuan City, Lanao del Sur, and Maguindanao.<\/p>\n

The rest of the country is under a more relaxed MGCQ.<\/p>\n
