Quezon reinstates mandatory face masks amid flu-like illnesses spike
Quezon Governor Angelina Tan has reinstated the mandatory wearing of face masks in all indoor and outdoor settings where physical distancing is not possible due to a spike in influenza-like illnesses.
The executive order cites increasing cases of colds, coughs, influenza-like illness, and severe respiratory infections like community-acquired pneumonia.
The Quezon Medical Center is operating at more than 200 percent of its authorized bed capacity.
Lucena City had previously suspended face-to-face classes from October 16 to 17, and again from October 20 to 22, as a precautionary measure.
The governor has not specified how long the policy will remain in effect.
