 Doctor Fong says people should continue with COVID-safe behaviors to minimize the possibility of another outbreak from these gatherings.

He adds domestic travel continues but will be restricted to a 50 percent capacity for both air and sea travel. This restriction will be reviewed once vaccination ramps up in the maritime zone.

 As of today, 600,944 people or 97.2 percent of adults have received one dose and 559,111 people or 90.4 percent of the target population are now fully vaccinated.
