[OPINION] Face shields block the way to PH retail recovery

[OPINION] Face shields block the way to PH retail recovery Jul 4, 2021 9:56 AM PHT Michael McCullough After a year into the longest lockdown in the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Philippines is still on its way to flattening the third surge of active cases while struggling to revive its economy. Local industries including real estate are yet to see significant improvements in business activity, operations, and revenue as sectors still finetune processes in the new normal.  As other countries such as the United States loosen their restrictions, there is an aggressive demand to reexamine the standard personal protective equipment being required by the Philippine government from both the public and private sectors to help revive the economy – particularly face shields, an additional plastic barrier worn over masks.

CHED eyes prioritization of students in COVID-19 vaccination

(Tara Yap/Manila Bulletin File photo) In an interview over DZBB on Sunday, July 4, CHED Chairman Prospero De Vera hopes the plan would push through so more universities and programs would be allowed to conduct limited face-to-face classes. “We are pushing to vaccinate faculty members and students of schools who are already conducting limited face-to-face classes. So every layer of protection that is put in, the risk decreases,” De Vera said. “And once we see that everything is going smoothly, I’ll go to President Duterte himself to tell him that our limited face-to-face classes are brining good results, so maybe we can open additional courses soon,” he added.
