Face mask-clad pedestrians cross a road in Manila on September 12, 2022. The Philippines on September 12 lifted a requirement for masks to be worn outdoors, more than two years after imposing the ruling as part of health measures against the Covid-19 coronavirus.

MANILA, Philippines — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority encouraged the public to continue wearing masks outdoors, noting that face coverings not only protect people from the virus that causes COVID-19 but also from pollution.

 

“The MMDA strongly enjoins the public, particularly those who are not fully-vaccinated, immunocompromised, and the senior citizens to continue wearing face masks whether indoor or outdoor for it helps minimize our risk from getting infected with the virus and stop its further transmission,” the agency said Wednesday.

 

The reminder came after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. lifted the compulsory wearing of masks outdoors, except in areas where people cannot observe social distancing. People are still required to wear masks in indoor establishments and public transportation.
