Si Marinduque Governor Presbitero J. Velasco, Jr. ay naglabas kahapon ng isang bagong Executive Order (No. 32-2020} bilang pag-amyenda sa nakaraaang
Executive Order No 31-2020. Ito ay naaayon sa IATF-MEID Resolution No. 43.
Ang Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging
Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) ay naunang naglabas ng isang bagong resolusyon na
naglilimita sa pagkilos ng lahat ng mga tao. Ito ay ang paglilimita lamang sa
pag-access sa mga goods and services at para sa trabaho sa mga tanggapan at industriyang pinapayagan na gumana sa
ilalim ng MGCQ.
Ang mga wala pang 21 taong gulang at higit sa 60 taong
gulang, lalo na silang may mga panganib sa kalusugan, at ang mga buntis ay
kinakailangang "manatili sa kanilang mga tirahan sa lahat ng oras."
Sa ilalim ng nakaraang mga patnubay ng IATF, lahat ng tao ay
pinapayagan na lumabas sa kanilang mga tirahan sa mga lugar na idineklara sa
ilalim ng MGCQ.
Ang pinakabagong paghihigpit sa ilalim ng MGCQ ay dumating
matapos maitala ang mga kaso ng coronavirus ng bansa sa 19,748, kabilang ang
4,153 naka-recover at 974 na namatay hanggang Hunyo 3.
Iba pang mga pagbabago sa IATF
Bukod sa paggalaw ng mga tao, ang IATF ay inamyendahan din
ang mga alituntunin tungkol sa mass gatheringss, pagpapatakbo ng hotel, outdoor
sports at pagbubukas ng klase sa mga lugar ng MGCQ.
Sa mga lugar sa ilalim ng MGCQ, ang mga pagtitipon ng masa
na may kinalaman sa mga religious services at work conferences ay
pinahihintulutan ngayon kung ang mga kalahok ay limitado sa 50 porsyento ng
seating capacity.
Ang accredited hotels at iba pang mga accommodation
establishments na matatagpuan sa mga lugar ng MGCQ ay maaaring gumana kung may
certificate of authority ng Department of Tourism.
“For this purpose,
the DOT and DILG shall work with LGUs to ensure compliance of accommodation
establishments,”ayon sa IATF resolution.
Kasama sa mga
nasabing accommodation establishments ang mga tourist inns, motels,
pension houses, pribadong bahay na ginagamit para sa homestay, ecolodges,
serviced apartments, condominiums at bed and breakfast facilities.

the processing which includes coordination with the LGU of destination through
