INIUTOS ni Transportation Secretary Art Tugade ang pagpapatupad ng “no vaccine, no ride” policy sa mga pampublikong sasakyan sa National Capital Region ngayon na patuloy ang pagtaas ng kaso ng coronavirus disease.
Sa kanyang Department Order (DO) na inilabas ngayong araw, epektibo ang “no vaccine, no ride” policy sa NCR habang nasa ilalim ito ng Alert Level 3 o mas mataas pa.
“All concerned attached agencies and sectoral offices of DOTr are directed to ensure that operators of public transportation shall allow access or issue tickets only to ‘fully vaccinated persons’ as evidenced by a physical or digital copies of an LGU (local government unit)-issued vaccine card, or any IATF-prescribed document, with a valid government issued ID with picture and address,” ayon sa DOTr department order.
Maituturing na fully vaccinated ang isang indibidwal kung natanggap nito ang ikalawang dose makalipas ang dalawang linggo ng pagpapaturok.
Narito naman ang mga exempted sa nasabing polisiya:
• Persons with medical conditions that prevent their full COVID-19 vaccination as shown by a duly-signed medical certificate with the name and contact details of their doctor.
• Persons who will buy essential goods and services, such as but not limited to food, water, medicine, medical devices, public utilities, energy, work, and medical and dental necessities, as shown by a duly issued barangay health pass or other proof to justify travel.
