As movement restrictions ease, OCTA Research fellow Guido David underscored the need to follow the face mask mandate especially for unvaccinated children, citing an uptick of COVID-19 cases among kids in the United Kingdom.
David made the remark as movement restrictions for children are eased through the opening of limited face-to-face classes in certain areas and allowing them in recreational areas such as malls.
âPart of the recent case increase in the UK as they are no longer following the mask mandate so this is definitely something we have to, I mean weâre keeping the mask mandate and the minimum public health standards,â David said.
âIt may be difficult to monitor the mask mandate for children so this is something of a concern because weâre having limited face-to-face classes. This will be the responsibility of teachers who are in charge of the classes,â he added.
After Metro Manila was downgraded to Alert Level 2, children were allowed to visit some recreational areas such as malls, raising concerns about their infection. (© Philippine Daily Inquirer News)
