Quezon City Environmental Protection and Waste Management Department head Andrea Villaroman told the Inquirer that the imposition of stiff penalties for violators of City Ordinance SP-2876 would also be postponed to July, but all establishments were required to submit a detailed transition plan.“It couldn’t be done in two months. They were informed in December,”Villaroman said. “That’s why Mayor [Joy Belmonte] allowed the deadline to be extended.

According to her, some retailers brought up concerns about the novel coronavirus in seeking an extension in the ban’s effectivity, citing concerns about reusable utensils that may unwittingly transmit the virus.
