Mayors in the National Capital Region are calling for eased restrictions on individuals already fully vaccinated against COVID-19, in order to help revive the economy.

In a statement on Thursday, the Metro Manila Council told the Inter-Agency Task Force that it is confident it can balance protecting the public's health and boosting industries.

The council said it approved a resolution asking the IATF to"consider the easing of the COVID-19 guidelines for fully vaccinated individuals in the NCR subject to the conduct of an inter-agency and inter-disciplinary study to determine the appropriate policy therefore based on scientific and empirical evidence."

As of Sept. 8, 56% of the eligible population - or 5,492,344 persons - in the capital region have completed their vaccine doses.

By next month, the council projects that the number of fully vaccinated residents will increase to 77.57%, or 7,601,685 people. In three months' time, or not later than December 8, mayors said 87% will be vaccinated, taking into account the 12-week interval between AstraZeneca doses.transportation bubbles for the fully vaccinated. Malacanang has said it is open to the idea should Metro Manila reach population protection - which means at least 50% have completed their coronavirus shots.
