Wearing of face shields in public transport in areas under alert levels 1, 2, and 3, no longer mandatory


Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Wearing of face shields in all public transportation in areas under Alert Level 1, 2, and 3 will no longer be mandatory, following the approval of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on the recommended guidelines set by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID).

In a memorandum from Executive Secretary Salvador C. Medialdea dated 15 November 2021 on the protocols on the use of face shields, the Chairpersons and Members of the task force were informed that President Rodrigo Roa Duterte “has approved the recommendation of the IATF in its Resolution No. 148-D (s. 2021) issued on 11 November 2021.”

The IATF Resolution No. 148-D, signed by Health Secretary Francisco Duque III and Secretary Karlo Alexi Nograles was unanimously approved and adopted in a regular meeting by the task force on 11 November 2021, stated in certification by Department of Health (DOH) Undersecretary and IATF Head Secretariat Charade Mercado-Grande.

With the President’s approval of the IATF resolution, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and its attached agencies will implement in public transportation the following protocols:

1. For areas under Alert Level 5 and granular lockdowns, the use of face shields in community settings shall be mandatory;

2. For areas under Alert Level 4, local government units (LGUs) and private establishments are given discretion to mandate the use of face shields; and

3. For areas under Alert Levels 3, 2 and 1, the use of face shields shall be voluntary.

DOTr representative to the IATF-EID and Undersecretary for Administrative Services Artemio Tuazon Jr. said the Department will immediately enforce the protocols on the use of face shields.

“In line with the directive issued by the IATF, which was also approved by the Palace, wearing of face shields in areas, where Alerts Level 1, 2 and 3 are in place, is no longer mandatory. It will be voluntary.” Usec. Tuazon said.

To recall, all passengers in any mode of public transportation were required to wear face shields, aside from face masks, effective 15 August 2020.

Meanwhile, despite the lifting of the mandatory use of face shields, stringent preventive measures remain in effect to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in all public transport facilities. These include the mandatory wearing of face mask, strict enforcement of the social distancing measure, and frequent sanitation. Talking and eating are likewise discouraged inside all public transportation.

  9. As someone who frequently uses public transportation, I can understand the concerns of those who feel that the lifting of the mandatory face shield rule may put them at risk. However, it's important to remember that the government's decision is based on current data and expert advice, and is subject to change if the situation warrants it.

  13. The wearing of face shields in public transport in areas under alert levels 1, 2, and 3 is no longer mandatory, marking a significant shift in health guidelines in response to the evolving COVID-19 situation. This update comes as a result of decreasing infection rates and increased vaccination efforts. While face shields were once deemed an essential layer of protection, health authorities have now determined that they may not be necessary in these specific situations.. Divorce Lawyers Northern
