Everyone surely remembers how the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) implemented in the middle of March 2020 brought many restrictions in travel and movement. People were ordered to stay at home and were only permitted to go out for necessities. Non-essential travel was pretty much off the table for most of us.
Months later, the government has adjusted their restrictions to allow more movement for tourism and businesses to survive .This also allowed citizens to travel again as long as necessary safety precautions are observed. While the pandemic is still an ongoing struggle, many Filipinos have found ways to adjust in the new normal and to explore while following coronavirus prevention measures. After all, no man is an island, and many people, including celebrities, are surely excited to be back in a real island after months of quarantine.
These celebrities have taken time off to relax in a peaceful setting away from bustling crowds--with enough safety protocols and social distancing--for some vitamin sea and beach therapy. For many people, swimming and relaxing in an island is the ultimate way to unwind and being outdoors in a calm, empty beach can be a low-risk activity when it comes to preventing the spread of COVID-19 as long as all safety protocols are correctly followed.
Even if you're not planning to have a beach getaway or non-essential travel anytime soon, these celebrities might give you some vacation inspiration for your next trip out of the city and give you a glimpse of what has changed in our local islands since the pandemic began.
Take a look at these beach photos from these celebrities who have managed to travel safely within the new normal.
