Health Secretary Francisco Duque III is against allowing minors to wander in public places, highlighting that at least 3% of the country's total COVID-19 cases are children who contracted the virus.

Children are not yet allowed inside shopping malls in Metro Manila pending the report of health experts, an official said on Wednesday.

Interior Secretary Eduardo Año on Monday said gradual easing of age restrictions will be allowed. He said areas under general community quarantine are allowed to accept minors accompanied by their parents inside malls to celebrate the Christmas season, pending ordinances to be issued by mayors. Garcia said health experts are set to present data on COVID-19 transmission and health risks in children during the emergency meeting of Metro Manila mayors. A"unified" decision is expected on Thursday.

"Hindi sila exempted sa hawaan... Pwedeng sila din ang maging sanhi ng pagkalat at magkakaroon tayo ng mataas na impeksyon. We discourage this. Huwag na po lumabas ang mga bata," he said in a separate forum.
