The government may reconsider its prior decision to allow religious gatherings in areas under general community quarantine (GCQ), Malacañang said Friday.
In an interview on GMA’s “Unang Hirit,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said that the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Emerging Infectious Diseases will meet today to discuss the matter.
“Alam niyo talagang ang original decision ng IATF eh payagan na at ang requirement ay two meters distance. Hindi po ako nagloloko pero matapos ko basahin yung (guidelines), pagkatapos ng press conference pinutakte ako ng reklamo galing sa mga provncial governors (at) mga mayors,” according to Roque.
“So, minabuti namin na i-refer ang bagay na ito sa IATF muli dahil meron naman silang meeting ngayon at sila po ang mag dedesisyon,” he added.
Roque hinted that the ITAF provision on work meetings will also be reassessed.
“Ang isa pang provision na madaming nag reklamo yung work-related gatherings. Ang sabi nila anong deperensya niyan sa kahit anong gathering kung papayagan ang mga empleyado na mag meeting at walang pamamaraan para ma-enforce yung social distancing,” the spokesman said.
On Thursday, Roque said the IATF allowed church activities and essential work to resume in GCQ areas provided attendees should maintain a distance of at least 2 meters from each other and wear a face mask.
