17 Dec IATF Allows Cockfighting In Areas Under Alert Level 2
Mga higala! The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) has finally allowed traditional cockfighting and the operation of cockpits in areas under Alert Level 2 all over the country!
However, concerned local government units (LGU) can still decide whether to adopt this decision or not and the following protocols must be followed to ensure the safety of participants:
- 50% venue capacity limit for fully vaccinated individuals
- On-site workers must also be fully vaccinated vs COVID-19
- Implementation of cashless betting and the use of technology-based platforms
- Minimum public health standards and technology-based betting shall be strictly enforced by the LGU where traditional cockfighting will be conducted, and monitored by the DILG
Cockpits or operators who will violate these measures will be shut down.
