Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 22) — The Inter-Agency Task

Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases eased the age restrictions

in areas under modified general community quarantine, allowing children aged 10

to 14 years old to go out beginning Feb. 1, IATF and Presidential spokesman Harry

Roque announced Friday.

"The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) approved the recommendation to relax

age-based restrictions for areas placed under Modified General Community

Quarantine (MGCQ) beginning February 1, 2021," Roque said in a statement. The Trade Department earlier proposed to ease the age limit to help stimulate economic

activity.

"Local government units (LGUs), on the other hand, are enjoined to adopt the

same relaxation of age-restrictions for areas under General Community Quarantine

(GCQ)," Roque added.

Current IATF rules permit those aged 15 to 65 years old to leave their homes.

Meanwhile, those covered by the age restrictions could only go out of their homes to

access essential items and services.

"Any person below ten (10) years old and those who are over sixty-five (65)

years of age shall be required to remain in their residence at all times," the official

said.
