More businesses has been allowed by the government to resume operations nationwide in order to revive the pandemic-struck economy of the country.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque issued a press statement announcing the decision of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID), approving the reopening of driving schools, traditional cinemas, and video and interactive-game arcades in the country.
Libraries, archives, museums, and cultural centers have also been allowed to resume operations, according to Roque’s statement.
Limited tourist attractions like parks, theme parks, natural sites, and historical landmarks, have also been authorized to reopen.
The IATF-EID, he said, has also agreed to allow the conduct of meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions, and limited social events at credited establishments of the Department of Tourism.
“The reopening and further expansion shall be subject to the issuance of the implementing guidelines which will provide for the operational capacity, and oversight of the appropriate regulatory agency and the concerned local government units where these businesses/industries are located,” he said.
