Follow health protocols despite modified liquor ban- DOH

DAVAO CITY, October 25 (PIA) - Following the the issuance of EO 59 or the modified liquor ban and lifting of curfew within Davao City, the Department of Health XI still reminded Dabawenyos to strictly follow the minimum public health standards (MPHS) especially with the upcoming Christmas season.

“The Davao City LGU may have based the EO on their local data which is a negative COVID19 growth rate and hospital bed capacity which is no longer under critical level. Kelangan pa rin nating i-strengthen ang MPHS and further increase vaccination,” said Dr. Raquel Montejo of the Department of Health Davao Region in a virtual presser earlier today.

The EO 59 cites the ban in selling liquor from 1AM to 8AM every day. No person or entity shall sell liquor or any alcoholic beverages within this time period.

The serving of liquor for consumption in bars, restaurants, sari-sari stores, palengke videoke, and other business establishments as well as drinking liquor in all public places including but not limited to streets, alleys, pathways, and outside of gates are not allowed.

The EO highlights that alcohol may only be served and consumed inside private properties.

The curfew time in all public places is also lifted.

Davao City has been placed under Alert Level 3 starting October 20 until October 31.

Under Alert Level 3, intrazonal and interzonal travel is allowed subject to reasonable restrictions based on age and comorbidities.

What remains not allowed are face to face or in-person classes for basic education, contact sports, funfairs/peryas and kid amusement industries, venues with live voice or wind-instrument performers and audiences, casinos, cockfighting, lottery and betting shops, and gatherings in residences with individuals not belonging to the same household.

In her radio program today, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte said that she reminded the security cluster and COVID19 task force to follow provisions and guide in the Alert Level 3.

“ Dili ta molayo dinha. Dili ta molihis dinha para dili malibog and mga tao sa ilang sundon,” the Mayor said when asked on policy not allowing minors and seniors to go out. (PIA XI/Frances Mae Macapagat)
