The decision was reached after Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III, Interior Secretary Eduardo Año and Transportation Secretary Art Tugade considered the vaccination coverage in Metro Manila, according to a government statement issued Wednesday.
"Within the 30-day window, partially vaccinated workers are still allowed to board public transportation," the joint statement read. DOTr Undersecretary for Administrative Service and official representative to the Inter-Agency Task Force Artemio Tuazon Jr. said the 30-day reprieve should encourage workers to get vaccinated, if not complete their COVID-19 vaccination.
"We want our workers to get fully vaccinated, especially now that there is no longer a shortage of COVID-19 vaccines, and there is a threat of highly transmissible variants of the virus," he added.
