In a press briefing held earlier today (5 November), Palace spokesman Harry Roque still advises the public to practice public health measures – which includes social distancing and wearing face masks – even amidst Alert Level 2. 

"Mababa nga po ang mga kaso ng COVID, pero anytime nga po pupuwedeng umakyat 'yan, knowing na meron pa nga ngayong mas matinding makahawang mga variant, so kailangan ingat pa rin," Roque states.
