コロナウイルス感染症の拡大によって、多くの人がお祈りのためにサントニーニョ聖堂を訪れることができなくなって、しばらくの期間が経ちます。

しかし、いいニュースが発表されました。

これまで教会に行くことができなかったひとたちは、プロトコルに従うことを前提に、お祈りのために教会に入ることを許されます。また、マゼランクロスという観光スポットにも入ることが可能です。

ワクチンの加速を前提に、１０月までに観光産業で働く人の99%が接種完了することを期待しています。

また政府は、この予防接種が観光を再開させる唯一の手段であると言っており、セブが非常に大切な存在であることを訴えました。なぜなら、セブは世界トップレベルの海のアトラクションが楽しめたり、歴史的な建造物もあり国内トップの観光地でもあるからです。

Cebu sees full tourism reopening in October

It has been a while that only few people can go to Santo Niño de Cebu to pray and to attend the mass due to the widespread of corona virus.  Fortunately, it is a good news to those people who religiously go to church and pray. People are not only allowed to go inside the church but also they can go to Magellan’s Cross as long as they follow the protocols.   

CEBU CITY—Tourism destinations in Cebu are expected to be fully reopened by the end of October this year as the government targets to inoculate 99 percent of the island’s tourism workers.

According to vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr., the target is doable since at least 50 percent of tourism workers were already vaccinated in the three biggest cities of Cebu, Mandaue, and Lapu-Lapu.

“That means they will just have to inoculate 50 percent more,” said Galvez who, along with Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo Puyat and Deputy Chief Implementer Secretary Vince Dizon, was in Cebu on Friday for the ceremonial vaccination of tourism workers at Oakridge Business Park in Mandaue City.

Only way

Puyat said the ceremonial vaccination was specifically held in Cebu to recognize the importance of the province in the country’s tourism industry.

“Cebu is very important to us. That [vaccination] is the only way we can restart tourism,” she said.

Puyat said Cebu would have a weekly allocation of 20,000 COVID-19 vaccines solely for tourism workers.

“Tourism workers are those that are not only working in hotels but also those working in restaurants, airports, drivers, among others,” she said.

Galvez affirmed that the vaccination of tourism workers in Cebu is one of the government’s priorities.

“The province of Cebu is considered as one of the country’s top tourist destinations because of its world-class marine attractions, historic sites, and of course, its mouth-watering cuisines,” Galvez said. INQ
