Iloilo City to require COVID-19 booster shots for gov't employees, public transactors

Iloilo City will require COVID-19 booster shots for all government employees and individuals transacting with public offices starting January 17, 2022, as a precautionary measure against the Omicron variant.

Mayor Jerry Treñas announced that only those with booster shots will be allowed entry to Iloilo City Hall.

Individuals entering City Hall must present their COVID-19 Booster Cards.

This decision was prompted by the rising cases of the Omicron variant in other countries, emphasizing its high contagiousness.

The city government will provide a space outside City Hall for those without booster shots to conduct transactions.

Free Pfizer and Moderna booster shots are available at the City Hall penthouse for employees and visitors.
