Cebu City – Giawhag sa mga opisyal sa Probinsya sa Sugbo ang Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Disease (IATF) nga tugtan ang mga business establishments nga maka police sa implementation sa ilang kaugalingong health protocols.
Subay niini, gipasapar sa mga membro sa Cebu Provincial Board, Lunes, Oktubre 18 ang ordinansa nga nag hangyo sa national government (anti-COVID task force) nga hatagan ug kahigayonan nga maka “self-regulate” sa ilang operations regardless sa quarantine status sa ilang area.
“A call is made upon the IATF to allow the restaurants, dining, other food and beverages establishments, hotels, resorts, other accommodations establishments, and outdoor tourism activities to self-regulate their operations in order to revert to their former normal operations regardless of quarantine classification while strictly following the health protocols within their establishment, secure the necessary compliance and permits in order to save their businesses, protect their investments, ensure livelihood for their workers, and ultimately, help revive the economy,” unod sa duha ka pahina nga resolution ni 6th District Provincial Board Member Glenn Anthony Soco.
Alang ni Soco nga ang pagsige ug usab usab sa quarantine classification naka dugang sa pas-anonon sa mga patigayon nga padayon pang misuway pag recover gikan sa impact sa Covid-19 crisis.
“To cope with these ever-changing quarantine classifications these sectors had to suffer from additional expenses in compliance with orders by authorities,” pasabot ni Soco.
“Several business groups seek understanding and consideration so that they may protect their investments and capital,” dugang sa opisyal.
Matod pa nga dunay mga instances, nga ubay ubay nga mga establishments ang mi introduce ug bag-ong mga policies ug health measures pagsiguro sa safety sa ilang customers, nga maoy naka aghat ni Soco pag request sa IATF nga tugtan ang mga negosyo pag self-regulate.
Gipasabot niya nga ubos sa ‘self-regulating’, ang management dunay discretion pag dawat ug mga customers at certain capacities, even beyond allowable ones, “so long as they can manage and ensure that strict implementation of health protocols are in place and their customers/patrons are safe and protected.
“Should they opt to open to more customers/patrons, they must initiate to implement more safety designs and practices within their premises. They must be more responsible in addressing health concerns should the same arise, immediately resolve health and safety issues, vaccinate all their employees and strictly comply with the guidelines set by authorities. In the event that violations arise, they may be sanctioned through penalties and even have their licenses/permits revoked, as the case may be,” matod ni Soco.
Pagka karon, ang tibook Cebu Island anaa sa General Community Quarrantine (GCQ) nga expected kini hangtud sa Oktubre 31.
Niadtong buwan sa Agosto, gipabalik sa mas strikto nga Modified Enhance Community Quarrantine (MECQ) gumikan kini sa pagsaka sa bag-ong mga kaso.
