Kids now allowed inside malls in Cebu

Good news! Children below 15 years old can now enter malls as long as they are accompanied by fully vaccinated guardians.

Cebu City Acting Mayor Michael Rama confirmed in his Directive No. 10-25-01 that unvaccinated minors are now allowed in indoor establishments if they are accompanied by their parents, guardians, or responsible adults who are fully vaccinated.

Recently, malls in Cebu such as SM City Cebu, SM Seaside City Cebu, Ayala Center Cebu, and Ayala Malls Central Bloc have made official announcements. Fully vaccinated adults must present vaccination cards and ID upon entry.

The public is still urged not to let the guard down and must continue to strictly maintain minimum public health standards even if they have already been fully vaccinated.

Furthermore, the new directive states that “any person below 15 years old, those who are over 65 of age, those with immunodeficiency, comorbidity, or other health risks, and pregnant women should be required to remain in their residences at all times, except for obtaining essential goods and services, or for work in industries and offices or such other permitted activities.”
