'Bakuna bubble' explainer set next week; 'better than lockdown' options pursued
Presidential Adviser Joey Concepcion proposed a "bakuna bubble" system for Metro Manila businesses to allow safer operations and increased mobility.
The proposed scheme would allow both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals to enter malls, with individual establishments requiring either a vaccination card or a negative COVID-19 test for unvaccinated patrons.
Concepcion stated that this approach is preferable to continued lockdowns, enabling businesses to reopen safely while facilitating greater mobility.
A press briefing is scheduled for Monday, August 30, to provide clarity on the "bakuna bubble" setup.
This initiative aims to offer more mobility options for unvaccinated Metro Manila residents compared to strict "no vaccination, no entry" policies.
