Up next on MGCQ reopenings: leisure industries resume operations at limited capacity

With quarantine measures gradually easing, more businesses have been given the go signal to partially resume operations. Part of this are establishments from the entertainment, education and travel sectors—which have been allowed to reopen in areas under modified general community quarantine (MGCQ).

In a press briefing held on June 9, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez announced the aforementioned sectors will be allowed to reopen at 50 percent capacity in areas under MGCQ. By reopening these businesses, the DTI hopes to save businesses and jobs while stimulating the economy.

Guidelines for health protocols that these businesses need to follow have yet to be released by DTI: 

As of writing, all areas in the country are now under MGCQ, except for Metro Manila, Pangasinan, Region II, Region III, Region IV-A, Region VII, Cebu City, Mandaue City, Zamboanga City and Davao City which are still under general community quarantine.
