DAVAO CITY — Resto bar operators here throw full support to the police of the city not to allow unvaccinated clients to enter the establishment.
In a press statement issued by the city government, it says that “Bar business owners expressed their commitment to strictly comply with the implementation of the minimum public health standards (MPHS) and enforce a no-vaccine, no-entry policy within their establishments following an incident at a downtown bar on Saturday evening, February 19, 2022, where the MPHS was violated and no DQR scanning was done on customers.”
Davao City COVID-19 Spokesperson Dr. Michelle Schlosser, during the COVID-19 Alert program of 87.5 FM Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR) recently said they encouraged the owners not to allow unvaccinated clients to come in because the city government is not in a position to impose such to private entities.
Adopting the minum health and public safety protocol is one of the key to avert recurrence and infection of the dreaded virus.
She said it would be a great help in the city’s fight against COVID-19 if establishments, such as bars, would only allow the entry of fully vaccinated individuals.
She said that implementing the MPHS and the no-vaccine no-entry policy is an effective way to prevent another Supladoz incident, where photos and videos showed customers drinking, dancing, and partying their hearts out without wearing face masks, and social distancing was not observed.
Following the MPHS, she said, is one of the most effective ways to protect one’s self against getting the infection. Without the droplets coming from one’s nose or mouth, no virus transmission will happen.-with report from CIO
