QC LGU tightens safety measures in wet markets -
These precautionary measures include, but are not limited to, social distancing and sanitation procedures.
Assistant City Administrator for Operations Alberto Kimpo noted that all the eight city-owned markets and 73 privately-owned markets and talipapas were instructed to compute their vacant space or walkway-per-individual ratio with the ratio of at least one square meter per person being observed. “Handwashing areas should be accessible to the public, even inside our markets. We ultimately want to stop this virus from spreading,” said Lipana, adding that all vendors are required to wear face masks and gloves.
Kimpo noted that CCTV monitors will be installed in the strategic areas of the markets to ensure that all ECQ policies are followed.He also recommended the barangays to coordinate with the nearby markets and assign a specific day and/or time of the week where their constituents can buy essential goods from the said markets.Lipana emphasized that stalls selling non-essential goods which closed down due to COVID-19 should not be required to pay rent.
