Government's reduced PUV distancing stays unless revoked by Duterte

The government's decision to gradually reduce physical distancing among passengers in public transportation remains in effect unless revoked by President Rodrigo Duterte.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque stated that the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) will submit a recommendation to the President, who will make the final decision no later than Thursday.

Roque noted that the IATF verbally approved the proposal during a previous meeting and there was no objection from health officials.
