DOH, Año discourage Christmas family reunions
Family reunions are considered mass gatherings and are thus discouraged over the Christmas holidays, Interior Secretary Eduardo Año said on Monday.
Año added that immediate family members only should celebrate Christmas together while observing minimum health standards.
The Department of Health (DOH) also advised against holding Christmas parties involving people from different households due to potential increases in COVID-19 cases.
Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire noted that household parties should observe physical distancing and avoid buffet-style dining.
