QC Council approves ordinance regulating mobility of unvaccinated citizens
Metro Manila mayors unanimously approved a resolution requiring unvaccinated residents to stay home and only go out for essential activities under Alert Level 3 or higher.
In line with this, the Quezon City Council approved an ordinance regulating the mobility of unvaccinated citizens, prohibiting them from entering establishments for leisure and dining-in.
Unvaccinated workers in Quezon City are required to undergo COVID-19 testing every two weeks at their own expense.
However, unvaccinated workers are granted a one-month grace period to get their first vaccine dose to be exempted from the testing requirement.
The policy aims to restrict the movement of unvaccinated individuals due to reports that a high percentage of COVID patients in intensive care units are unvaccinated.
