Cinemas in GCQ areas to operate at 50% capacity

The Manila Times – February 14, 2021

CINEMAS in general community quarantine areas will be allowed to operate at a 50 percent capacity, Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez said on Sunday.

Those in modified GCQ areas can operate at 75 percent capacity, Lopez said in a Viber message to reporters.

He issued the statement despite the opposition of Metro mayors to the reopening of cinemas which they fear would further spread the Coronavirus disease.

The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases earlier approved the resumption of operations of cinemas in areas under GCQ.
