Seatmates not allowed once NCR cinemas reopen under Alert Level 3 —DILG exec
Metro Manila cinemas are set to reopen on October 16 under Alert Level 3, operating at 30% indoor capacity for fully vaccinated individuals.
Moviegoers will be required to leave a vacant seat between them and maintain other safety protocols such as wearing masks.
The Cinema Exhibitors Association of the Philippines (CEAP) proposed these safety measures after the industry lost over 300,000 jobs and an estimated P21 billion income.
The Department of Health (DOH) will monitor the reopening to see if it leads to an increase in COVID-19 cases.
