11 Nov DOH Advises Public To Avoid “Face-To-Face” Christmas Parties
Mga higala! The Department of Health (DOH) is now urging the public to avoid “face-to-face” Christmas parties and other activities or celebrations this holiday season!
This is in accordance with the recently released DOH Circular No. 2020-0355, which says that the public should instead conduct celebrations virtually, do their shopping online, and attend online masses, among others.
“Alalahanin po natin na mas mataas ang risk [sa pagkalat ng COVID-19 ang] in-person activities kaya po kung hindi maiiwasan ang mga ito, piliin po natin ang mga outdoor activities na open at nasa well-ventilated areas,” said DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire.
The DOH is also advising the public to limit social interactions to less than 15 minutes.
Minimum health standards like the wearing of face masks, face shields, and the observance of physical distancing and cough etiquette, should also be enforced.
