The area comprised of Metro Manila, Rizal, Bulacan, Cavite, and Laguna (NCR Plus) will be downgraded to GCQ (General Community Quarantive) effective May 15 to May 30, 2021, Malacañang announced Thursday.
However, the downgrading is with “heightened restrictions”. This means that movement is limited to essential travel and that public transportation will still be operational.
From 10%, dine-in services in NCR Plus will be allowed at 20% seating capacity while al fresco dining will be allowed at 50%.
This is a welcome development and would surely help cafes and restaurants to slowly recover the losses incurred due to the pandemic.
Be that as it may, we should not let our guard down and continue to adhere to minimum health protocols. We also encourage our dear customers to log their visits using the Contact Tracing QR codes provided at our venue.
Let’s welcome this news but remain vigilant, abiding with all the rules imposed by the government for our health and safety.
