MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte has decided to retain the policy of requiring a 1-meter distance between passengers on public transport as the COVID-19 threat remains, Presidential Spokesperson Har
ry Roque said Saturday.
"Matapos pong pag-aralan ni Presidente ang rekomendasyon ng parehong panig na nagsasabi na dapat manatili sa 1 meter ang physical distancing sa pampublikong transportasyon at 'yung mga nagsasabi na pupuwede naman itong pababain basta may face shield, face mask, walang salita... nagdesisyon na po ang Presidente kahapon. Ang desisyon, mananatili po ang 1-meter social distancing sa pampublikong transportasyon," said Roque.
