MANILA- Religious mass gatherings will remain prohibited in the Philippines despite the easing of community quarantine restrictions across the country, Malacañang said Tuesday.
"Nagkaroon po ng desisyon na hindi muna papayagan ang mass gatherings for religious purposes. I cannot say when mapapayagan po 'yan pero titingnan po natin ang datos," he said in a Palace press briefing. The capital region transitioned on Monday to a general community quarantine from a modified enhanced community quarantine as the government sought to revive the economy that saw a contraction for the first time in 22 years.
The rest of the country meanwhile, shifted to a modified GCQ, the transition point to the "new normal" where community quarantine protocols would be fully lifted.
