Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna, also a physician, said that physical distancing is not enough amid the anticipated large volume of cemetery visitors.
Meanwhile, Manila’s face mask policy in two of its major public cemeteries was well-received by some Filipinos, given the presence of the more infectious Omicron subvariant XBB and the XBC variant.
“Dapat lang na mag-mask [pa rin], syempre uuwi ka sa bahay mo, tapos hindi mo alam na may nakasalubong ka na may ubo o sipon, hindi mo alam na dala-dala mo ‘yan sa pag uwi ang virus na ‘yan, mahahawa ‘yong mga anak mo, tatay, nanay mo na senior, [andiyan pa rin] ang COVID…” a“[Marami] po kasi ang tao nun. Kahit na open, para [sa akin] need pa rin mag-facemask. Di [naman] tayo sure na lahat vaccinated na.
