Only vaccinated drivers allowed to operate in Baguio City starting Nov. 10

Drivers who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 will no longer be allowed to ply Baguio City's mass transport routes starting November 10, GMA's Unang Balita reported Tuesday.

In an advisory, Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong said only vaccinated drivers of public utility jeepneys, taxis, and UV Express, even those who received their first dose,  will be allowed to operate in the city to protect the riding public against COVID-19.

Drivers of essential and non-essential cargo vehicles are not included and will continue to be afforded unhampered passage.

Based on the directive, if the driver is not vaccinated, whether Baguio resident or not, he or she will be taken to the Baguio Athletic Bowl to get a drive-thru vaccination.

Meanwhile, Baguio has opened its famous night market from 7:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. since the city is now at Alert Level 3. Only 1,000 individuals are allowed inside the night market.

The authorities are on high alert to ensure that safety and health protocols are being followed.—Sherylin Untalan/AOL, GMA News
