No more 'no vax no ride' exemptions by mid Feb.
Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated workers in Metro Manila are granted a 30-day grace period from January 26 to use public transportation.
By February 25, only fully vaccinated individuals will be permitted on public transport if Metro Manila remains under Alert Level 3.
This policy, announced by the DOLE, DILG, and DOTr, will be lifted if Metro Manila is downgraded to Alert Level 2.
Partially vaccinated workers must complete their inoculation within the 30-day grace period to continue using public transport thereafter.
The grace period aims to encourage workers to get vaccinated or complete their COVID-19 vaccination.
There will be no more exemptions to the 'no vax, no ride' policy by mid-February, according to DOTr Undersecretary Artemio Tuazon Jr.
