Though MECQ was announced, motorcycle back-riding will be allowed as long as barriers separating riders from the driver of motorcycles will be placed.
Police Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar said that medical frontliners and other essential workes can be allowed to back-ride to address the transportation concerns of people who will need to travel to and from work.
He added that the drivers and passengers should be able to provide identification cards or other documents in checkpoints.
Before the announcement of MECQ, the Joint Task Force COVID Shield announced that only romantic partners living together are allowed to back ride.
