Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion has reminded business establishments to uphold minimum public health standards to further control the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) despite the easing of alert level systems in some parts of the country, including Metro Manila.
“Business establishments like restaurants, spas and salons should ensure high compliance by allowing only fully vaccinated persons in their indoor spaces… Let us not lose the trust that the government has given us. We all want to move NCR (National Capital Region) to Alert Level 1 in December,” Concepcion said in a statement Wednesday.
Concepcion, who is also the Go Negosyo founder, made the statement as the positivity rate last November 12 rose to 5.5 percent, which is higher than the World Health Organization-recommended positivity level of 5 percent.
He added that although the slight uptick is expected due to more mobility of people, complacency will be the country’s enemy as it moves toward overcoming the pandemic.
Meanwhile, starting on Friday, Go Negosyo is premiering “Kandidatalks” that will host presidential candidates and other aspirants for national posts to bare their platforms for the upcoming election.
“Kandidatalks” is a special series of Go Negoshow that will be streamed live on Go Negosyo’s Facebook page.
“Kandidatalks will focus on what the 2022 election holds for the country’s small, medium, and micro entrepreneurs,” the office of the presidential adviser said in a statement. (PNA)
