The Mandaluyong City local government announced on Monday that the management of basketball and Zumba events in the barangay level will be delegated to the respective barangay officials.
Metro Manila was placed under the more relaxed Alert Level 2 quarantine classification last Nov. 5 due to the National Capital Region’s high COVID-19 vaccination rate and declining COVID-19 cases.
In addition, minimum public health and safety protocols should still be observed in every game. It added that only fully vaccinated individuals will be allowed to play and a barangay staff should be assigned on site to take the temperature and check the vaccination cards of the participants. She added that the local government unit will explore giving incentives, such as allowing the participants to play without wearing face masks, to vaccinated individuals, especially to children aged 17 and below who wish to play.
Meanwhile, Zumba classes may be held without the wearing of face masks if social distancing of at least two meters between individuals is observed.
