Yes, but just remember to wash your hands and face afterwards

Way off topic, but reminds me of a funny story....

We were on tank manuvuers, up in Washington State in the middle of winter,,,covered in grease, mud, sweat and all bundled up against the cold....We lined up for chow (food) and a stupid medic was there telling us to wash our hands before we got our food. We looked at him like he had a 3rd eye....

So we took off our greasy, muddy gloves,,,washed our hands with cold water. Put the greasy and muddy gloves back on and got our food and ate it with greasy and muddy gloves:hystery:

 

sorry back to the topic

Cebu City and surrounding areas are level 3 with curfew at this time.

Wait until this summer I'll buy you a beer but for the other your on your own. :6:

All I can add is download every app you may need ( Traze, Stay Safe) and where QR codes are issued keep a hard copy. I have my health QR code on a credit card sized card laminated with my vax cert on the back. It saves a lot of time messing around with your phone and if your phone goes belly up you have no issues.

You can still get a beer and a small massage after a haircut.  That's what you were referring to right?? :whistling:

Really makes no difference.

It really does... those of us who hold SRRV have no reason nor need to hold an onward ticket... hence, the question.

Just downloaded the Traze app from the Apple app store and tried to register "it just comes up with this app is available in the Philippines" so if needed I guess I have to do it there.

NB I tried it with my VPN turned on and set to Philipines and got the same error.

Not exacty.  But Lyn will be spending a lot of time in the province visiting her family.  I am not really a Bukid Boy so I may have to entertain myself in Cebu city while she is gallivanting.

In Cebu city you can go for a beer but must be home by 11pm. You can go out again at 4am. If your vaccinated you can drink in doors but only at 30 % capacity or outdoors at 50%.

That's until the 15th and then we see what's next.

Massage parlors are open at the same conditions. 

There was only 841 arrested over the weekend for health protocol violations.

Since the country opens for tourist on the 10th and Cebu city has curfew until the 15th I can imagine several tourist will be arrested in that time.
