The new measure will be part of PAL's multi-layered safety measures, which include the cabin crew's full personal protective gear, availability of hand sanitizers, and thermal scanning, among others. Local carriers once again suspended domestic flights to and from Manila after the government reimposed a stricter lockdown to contain the spread of COVID-19.
