Trade Secretary Mon Lopez said the IATF may consider allowing stores with fully vaccinated personnel with greater operating capacity so they can go back to normal after more than a year of pandemic restrictions.
“Puwede naming pag-usapan pa sa IATF. Kasi parang… puwede kang magdagdag technically, theoretically ng capacity kung safe naman ang mga tao doon, bakunado na,” Lopez said. “That could be another policy, pero hindi pa sa ngayon.”
Currently, stores which secured a safety seal accreditation can operate at 10% more than the capacity allowed by the IATF.
