CAGAYAN DE ORO (MindaNews / 11 November) – Starting Thursday (Nov. 11), minors below 18 years old may go inside malls and shopping centers in the city.

The city COVID-19 Operations Center issued the guidelines allowing minors inside these establishments provided they are accompanied by their parents or adults.

“Infants can also go inside the malls and shopping centers as long as they are accompanied by their parents or adults ,” COVID-19 governance cluster head Oliver Egypto said.

But lawyer Jose Edgardo Uy, chair of the city Regulatory Compliance Board said the city government stood pat on its decision not to allow residents who are not fully vaccinated in malls and other public areas.

Uy said establishment security guards were instructed to check the vaccination cards of their customers who want to go inside.

“I suggest that you should carry your vaccination card always because these will be checked by the security guards,” Uy said in the press briefing today.
