MANILA – If coronavirus cases continue to decline, the face mask requirement in open locations under Alert Level 1 status may be gradually phased out.

Dr. Ted Herbosa, special medical adviser for the National Task Force Against Covid-19, said at the Laging Handa public briefing on Friday that it may be regarded as one of the changes under the so-called new normal.

“Ang susunod nito ay maaring ‘yung pagsuot ng mask sa outside places, so sa indoor na lang tayo magma-mask lalo na kung bababa ang cases As a result, we will only use face masks indoors, especially if the number of instances continues to decline) “Herbosa stressed that his viewpoint is just that and that it will be subject to scrutiny.

Masks, when worn properly and covering the nose and mouth, protect the user from inhaling or absorbing droplets and particles that other people may breathe, cough, or sneeze out.

Only 853 new infections were reported on Friday, for a total of 50,230 active cases, down from 866 the day before.

The government will organize another National Covid-19 Vaccination Days (Bayanihan, Bakunahan 4) on March 10 and 11, prioritizing the administration of booster doses to senior adults and those with comorbidities as part of its ongoing efforts to restore normalcy.

Over 63.4 million doses of Covid-19 primary series vaccine have been provided in the Philippines, including those who received the single-shot Janssen and Sputnik Light vaccines, with over 10 million fully immunized receiving the booster dose.
