Cinemas are back: Here are the safety protocols required for PH malls
Philippine cinemas will strictly enforce health protocols upon reopening under Alert Level 3 restrictions, allowing only fully vaccinated individuals and limiting seating to 30% capacity.
The exact reopening date remains pending confirmation, with the Cinema Exhibitors Association of the Philippines (CEAP) advising the public to await further announcements.
Cinemas in Metro Manila have been closed for 19 months due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
CEAP's Charmaine Bauzon emphasized the association's efforts to develop science-based solutions and precautions to ensure the safety of moviegoers.
Bauzon assured the public that cinemas are safe spaces, citing that local government units (LGUs) have used theaters as vaccination centers without reporting any super-spreading events.
