Senior citizens who have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) living in general community quarantine (GCQ) and modified general community quarantine (MGCQ) areas can now go outside their homes as long as they bring with them their vaccination cards.

Palace spokesman Harry Roque Jr. said on Friday the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) decided to ease restrictions on the movements of the elderly during the meeting on Thursday.
