More LGUs drop face shield requirement
More local government units have dropped the requirement for face shields as a minimum health protocol.
General Santos and Cebu joined Manila, IloIlo, and Davao in making face shields optional except in specific places like hospitals.
Acting Cebu City mayor Michael Rama announced that residents are no longer required to wear face shields when entering malls, restaurants, and other indoor spaces, but they must still be worn in hospitals, diagnostic centers, and public utility vehicles with adequate ventilation.
The Inter Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases will meet on Thursday, November 11 to finalize recommendations regarding this matter.
