According to the IATF resolution, restaurants in areas under Alert Level 3 can offer indoor dining services at 30% capacity and al fresco dining at 50% capacity as long as the workers are fully vaccinated.

When asked if the resolution by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the implementation of Alert Level 3 in Metro Manila can be a basis to not pay and even terminate unvaccinated workers, the DOLE chief said, “[n]o that is not correct.”

Early Thursday, Bello was quoted in reports saying that employers could now fire unvaccinated employees since the said provision obligates employers to ensure that their staff are immunized against COVID-19. He said in the interview that this"is a case of misinformation." Moreover, vaccination should not be made mandatory in the future, he said.he had said that “there is no legal basis for the employers to compel their workers to be vaccinated” given vaccine supply problems.
