Habang tinitingnan ng gobyerno ang tatlong araw na National Vaccination Drive sa huling bahagi ng buwang ito, muling binuksan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang isyu kung legal ba para sa mga negosyo na tanggihan ang mga hindi nabakunahang aplikante sa trabaho.
As the government eyes a three-day National Vaccination Drive later this month, President Rodrigo Duterte reopened the issue on whether it is legal for businesses to turn down unvaccinated job applicants.
Sa loob ng anim na araw, binawi ng Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) ang resolusyon nito na nagpapahintulot sa local government units na tumanggap ng vaccination card o certificates of quarantine completion ng fully vaccinated domestic traveller bilang “sapat na alternatibo” sa mga COVID-19 test bago maglakbay o pagdating sa destinasyon.
In six days, the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) retracted its resolution allowing local government units to accept vaccination cards or certificates of quarantine completion of fully vaccinated domestic travelers as “sufficient alternative[s]” to COVID-19 tests before travel or upon arrival at the destination.
