Starting next month, children as young as 10 years old will be allowed to go out of their homes in areas under Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ) in line with the government’s attempt to spur consumer spending and revive economic growth.
The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) has agreed to lower the age restriction for people allowed to leave their homes from 15 to 10 years old following a meeting Thursday, Malacañang announced Friday.
Prior to the latest IATF decision, the government exempted persons age 15 to 65 from the strict stayat-home policy but compelled the observance of health protocols during the community quarantine. Local government units are given authority to decide on the age limit for minors depending on their coronavirus situation.
“The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) approved the recommendation to relax age-based restrictions for areas placed under Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ) beginning February 1, 2021. Any person below ten (10) years old and those who are over sixty-five (65) years of age shall be required to remain in their residence at all times,” presidential spokesman Harry Roque said.
