Unvaccinated banned from Dolomite Beach
ONLY fully-vaccinated individuals will be allowed entry at the Dolomite Beach along Manila Bay, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) announced Monday.
The ban on unvaccinated individuals is part of the new guidelines for the reopening of the rehabilitated area.
Children up to 11 years old are also still not permitted to enter, DENR said in a press release.
Those intending to visit will have to pre-register online at least one day before the intended date. Walk-ins will be accommodated if there are available slots within the 300 persons per hour limit.
“We advise successful online registrants to come on time for their scheduled batch as everyone in a given batch will be required to leave the beach area upon the lapse of the one-hour period for the next batch,” DENR-Environmental Law Enforcement and Protection Service Director Reuel N. Sorilla said.
All visitors must present a vaccination card, wear face mask, and observe physical distancing.
Eating, drinking, and swimming at the beach are still prohibited.
During the Dec. 28 reopening, there were 1,245 visitors at the beach, of which 89% were walk-in guests while 11% were online registrants, according to the DENR. — Luisa Maria Jacinta C. Jocson
