The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) on Saturday reminded barbershops and salons to follow the health and safety procotols when they gradually reopen business on Sunday.
“Bago sila magbukas, required natin na sundin nila ang ating health protocols na inisyu natin 2 weeks ago para makapag-prepare sila sa pagbubukas,” said DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez.
[Before the they open, they are required to follow the protocols we issued two weeks ago for them to prepare for the reopening.]
These protocols include using sanitation equipment such as acrylic dividers, sterilizers, among others.
Establishments such as barbershops and salons are also only allowed to operate at 30 percent capacity, he said.
In areas under modified GCQ, barbershops and salons are allowed to operate at 50 percent capacity.
Lopez also reminded restaurants and food establishments about protocols, like only 50 percent dine-in capacity is allowed in areas under modified GCQ.
“ ’Yung mahigpit na guidelines d’yan ’yung sa pag-enter pa lang ng establishment meron din silang temperature scanning, kung outdoor ito may foot bath pa, tapos ’yung mga cashier usually may acrylic divider o kaya enough protection ’yung cashier.”
[Once people enter the establishment, there will be temperature scanning and if it’s outdoor there should be a foot bath. And there should be acrylic dividers or enough protection for cashiers.]
