THE Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases has allowed cinemas, museums, theme parks and other leisure establishments to reopen in areas under general community quarantine (GCQ) effective February 15, 2021.

However, their operations are subject to the implementing guidelines to be issued by the local government units (LGUs).

The facilities should also strictly observe the minimum public health standards.

The IATF’s latest resolution, which was approved on February 11, covers the following:

• Driving schools;
• Traditional cinemas, and video and interactive-game arcades;
• Libraries, archives, museums, and cultural centers;
• Meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions, and limited social events in establishments accredited by the Department of Tourism; and
• Parks, theme parks, natural sites and historical landmarks.
