(File photo) MANILA - Quezon City residents who remain unvaccinated against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) but with existing medical conditions are exempted from undergoing reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests. Such individuals should be allowed to go to work as long as a medical certificate is presented. "Ang isang unvaccinated na empleyado ay hindi kailangan mag-Covid test kung siya ay may medical condition kaya hindi pwedeng magpabakuna. Kailangan niyang isumite sa kanyang kumpanya ang certification ng kanyang doktor. Dapat ay may contact number ang certification para sa verification (An unvaccinated employee may not undergo Covid test if there is a preexisting medical condition that prevents him or her from getting vaccinated. They need to present a doctor's certification to the company they work for. The certification should have a contact number for verification)," the city posted on Facebook on Sunday night. City Ordinance No. 307
Local carriers Philippine Airlines (PAL) and AirAsia Philippines have expressed support to the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) policy barring unvaccinated individuals from riding public transportation in the National Capital Region while the area is under Alert Level 3 or higher.
