BREAKING: Back-riding or pillion riding on motorcycles will be allowed for couples who live together starting Saturday, July 11, provided they wear face shields and masks
The spouses and live-in partners must also wear helmets and observe the speed limits, Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases spokesperson Harry Roque Jr. told CNN Philippines in a text message.
Roque said they are set to formally approve the practice tomorrow. The new policy will be effective the next day. He explained that the policy is subject to the approval of the National Task Force Against COVID-19, which he said is “forthcoming tomorrow.” Since March, local officials have been urging policy makers on COVID-19 response to reconsider its no back-riding policy, which they enforced to keep people away from the virus.
