MANILA - The Department of Health said Tuesday anti-coronavirus disease measures were not enforced at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex where thousands of stranded residents last week gathered for th

e government's free transportation program.

DOH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire described the situation as a mass gathering, which is prohibited under government measures against COVID-19. "Tama po dahil alam naman po natin na kailangan hindi magkaroon ng pakikipagsalamuha ang maramihang tao sa ngayon dahil ang impeksyon ay maaaring magtransmit nang mabilis sa mga ganitong pagkakataon," she added when asked if the situation was not ideal according to DOH guidelines.

Around 284 others were brought to a housing site in Bulacan as they waited for their respective provinces to lift their moratorium on the entry of returning residents, he added.
