The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases has barred spectators from attending non-contact sports events and exercises in areas under general community quarantine (GCQ) and modified GCQ (MGCQ).
The amendments to the omnibus guidelines on indoor and outdoor sports and other forms of exercise were approved Thursday by the IATF.
According to IATF Resolution No. 56, outdoor non-contact sports and other forms of exercise, such as but not limited to, walking, jogging, running, biking, golf, swimming, tennis, badminton, equestrian, range shooting and skateboarding are allowed in GCQ areas.
Indoor and outdoor non-contact sports are allowed in areas under MGCQ.
“The members of the IATF prohibited spectators in all outdoor non-contact sports and exercises in areas under general community quarantine and indoor and outdoor sports and exercises in areas under modified general community quarantine,” Palace spokesman Harry Roque said in a statement.
Earlier in June, the IATF allowed training sessions for basketball and football teams to resume. John Ezekiel J. Hirro
