Tuloy ang Paskong Pinoy sa Pag-iing…at ng Lahat!
To keep ourselves and our families out of COVID-19 harm this holiday season, the DOH encourages all Filipinos to diligently practice BIDA Solusyon behaviors of B-bawal walang mask, I-sanitize ang kamay, D-dumistansya ng isang metro and A-alamin ang totoo.
As indicated in Department Circular 2020-0355 issued last Oct 26, 2020 entitled “Reiteration of the Minimum Public Health Standards for COVID-19 mitigation during the Holiday,” the DOH further emphasized the following risk mitigating measures to make holiday celebrations and activities safer:
✅ Limit the number of people in the family and social gatherings and activities, preferably people within the same household.
✅ Avoid activities that require travel to areas with higher quarantine classification.
✅ Keep activities as short as possible.
✅ Observe BIDA especially when in activities that involve talking, shouting, heavy breathing or singing, which increases risk due to droplet transmission.
✅ Avoid sharing of items and high touch surfaces and ensure cleanliness of surroundings.
✅ Ensure proper ventilation in the venue and avoid air-conditioning settings which recirculate air.
✅ If sick, stay at home and avoid attending any gathering.
✅ If vulnerable, limit participation from social gatherings.
However, the DOH would like to stress that the safest means of celebrating will be through online participation or video teleconferencing.
Tuloy ang Pasko para sa Pamilyang Pilipino. Together, let us all #BIDASolusyon sa COVID-19. See More
