NDPC Says Kids Below 15 Banned From Entering Rizal Park & Paco Park
The National Parks Development Committee (NDPC) announced that kids below 15 years old are banned from entering Rizal Park and Paco Park in Manila.
On Saturday (December 26, 2020), NDPC announced on their Facebook account that children below 15 years old will be prohibited in Rizal Park and Paco Park due to the increasing cases of the coronavirus disease.
The group made the announcement after a University of California, Berkeley released a study entitled “Epidemiology and transmission dynamics of COVID-19 in two Indian states” showing that children and young adults are the key spreaders within households.
“Due to the increasing cases and the new virus strain of COVID-19, children below 15 years old will not be allowed inside Rizal Park and Paco Park effective today, 26 December 2020, until further notice. Thank you for your understanding,” NDPC said.
In August 2020, the committee opened Rizal Park to public not for leisure but for physical fitness activities amid the coronavirus pandemic, which is currently spreading in various countries all around the world.
The group’s action aims to prevent the further spread of the coronavirus disease in the country.
