‘No vax, no ride’ in NCR to depend on next alert level
The "no vaccine, no ride" policy in the National Capital Region (NCR) will be suspended if the alert level drops to Alert Level 2.
Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles previously clarified that the ordinances mandating these restrictions are specifically for Alert Level 3 or higher.
Department of Transportation (DOTr) Undersecretary Artemio Tuazon Jr. stated that the policy, which was suspended for 30 days until February 25, would be reimposed if the NCR remains under Alert Level 3 or higher.
The Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) has yet to decide on the alert level classification for the NCR.
Tuazon encouraged the public to get vaccinated during the suspension period.
