Unvaccinated has rights but also has limits—DOJ

Guevarra said that the State has the power to regulate the movement of the unvaccinated persons in the interest of public health or public safety “for the benefit not only of the vaccinated but also of the unvaccinated.”

Unvaccinated persons are not prohibited from traveling, but their access to public transportation is restricted subject to certain exceptions and only in areas where the alert level for COVID-19 infection is high. The DOJ chief said that while public transport is open for everyone, operators of common carriers “are bound to carry their passengers safely to their destinations, and safely means freedom not only from accidental injury but also from transmissible diseases.”
