The Department of Transportation will conduct a random antigen test on passengers of the Metro Rail Transit and Light Rail Transit as part of the measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus disease amid the upsurge of cases in Metro Manila.
“The random antigen testing of consenting and volunteering passengers is intended to guide us in the adoption of any further needed measures. Passengers who volunteer to be tested will be permitted to proceed with their trip after testing, and will be informed of their test results by text message,” he added.
The DOTr action plan to contain spread of the COVID-19 came amid the rising number of cases in Metro Manila. President Duterte has approved the recommendation to place Metro Manila under COVID Alert Level 3. “Any adjustments or changes in the passenger capacity of rail lines, as well as in other modes of public transportation, will be subject to the guidance of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases ,” he added.
