MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Health said fully-vaccinated senior citizens must continue following health protocols such as face mask wearing after the government allowed older people living in areas under general community quarantine and modified GCQ to leave their homes. Senior citizens are now allowed to move within their zone but interzonal travel remains prohibited, except for point-to-point travel. You should still comply with our minimum public health protocols so you won’t get infected,” Vergeire said in Filipino. The DOH official also urged other senior citizens to get inoculated so they can also leave their homes. As of June 6, only 369,387 senior citizens have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
