The looming reintroduction of some restrictions in the National Capital Region (NCR) to curb the spread of COVID-19 has saddened several small businesses.
According to Vonne Aquino’s "24 Oras Weekend" report on Saturday, owners and operators of several establishments, including salons and funfairs or "peryahan," appealed for help as their businesses will be affected under“Marami sa aming tauhan ang mawawalan ng hanapbuhay po ulit. Sana po huwag matuloy yung lockdown kasi malaking kawalan po sa amin.
Michelle Lorenzo, owner of Juan Stop Salon, expressed disappointment with the return of the Alert Level 3 in NCR, as they were just beginning to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Ang mga salon nalulugi, so hindi tayo nakakabawi sa expenses sa rental at sahod ng tao. Kung sana nabibigyan nila ng aksyon na magkaroon ng konting diskwento yung mga nagrerental,” Lorenzo appealed.
Under Alert Level 3, several establishments will be allowed to operate at 30% indoor venue capacity only for fully vaccinated individuals and 50% outdoor venue capacity, provided that all employees are fully vaccinated. Face-to-face classes, contact sports, funfairs or peryahan, and casinos are among the activities and establishments that are prohibited under Alert Level 3.Meanwhile, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III earlier said that the highly transmissible Omicron variant may already be responsible for the sharp rise in COVID-19 cases in the Philippines.
