MANILA, Apr 24 (The Straits Times/ANN): The Philippines has reimposed mask mandates at railways snaking across its sprawling regional capital following a recent rise in Covid-19 cases.
Commuters will now have to again wear masks when using the main MRT line, two light rail lines and the main train line criss-crossing Metro Manila – a metropolis of 16 cities home to some 14 million people. Mask-wearing on public transport was made voluntary in October 2022.
