No public Masses yet after ECQ

More than two months since public Masses were cancelled last March 14, the Archdiocese of Davao has not yet resumed masses in the public.

It was recommended that Davao City will undergo General Community Quarantine once the Enhanced Community Quarantine ends on May 15 but the City Mayor said there should be a review on the guidelines on May 14.

In an interview with Mayor Sara Duterte via Davao City Disaster Radio May 13, she said that Davao City will only allow General Community Quarantine if the Inter-Agency Task Force allows.

She said that the Omnibus Guidelines on the Implementation of Community Quarantine in the Philippines will be the basis for the executive order that she will issue should the Enhanced Community Quarantine will be lifted.

Mass gatherings, or gathering of more than 10 people are not yet allowed during General Community Quarantine according to the City Mayor.

For now, the Archdiocese of Davao will continue to do the livestreaming of Holy Masses through DXGN 89.9 Spirit FM to avoid public gatherings and to contain the spread of Coronavirus which causes this Covid-19 pandemic. (JFF/DCHerald)
