Gatherings now allowed in colleges, universities under MGCQ –Palace


The government lifted the ban on mass gatherings in universities and colleges located in areas under a modified general community quarantine (MGCQ), Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque announced Saturday.

“Pinapayagan na ang mass gatherings sa higher educational institutions ngunit kailangan silang sumunod sa ilalim ng existing guidelines ng MGCQ," Roque said during the Laging Handa public briefing.

The government earlier allowed mass gatherings in areas under MGCQ, but only up to 50 percent of a venue’s capacity. Mass gatherings in educational institutions, however, were then still prohibited.

Roque also announced that face-to-face Technical Education and Skills Development Authority technical-vocational education training in areas under MGCQ were also allowed, but at 50 percent capacity at venues and still subject to compliance with minimum public health standards and in consultation with local government units. — DVM, GMA News
