In a press statement, Joint Task Force COVID Shield commander Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar said the National Task Force (NTF) Against Covid-19 approved their recommendation to extend the original deadline from July 19 to July 26, to give riders enough time to install either of the two barriers that passed the safety standard—the Bohol prototype and the Angkas design.
Ayon kay Municipal Local Government Operations Officer (MLGOO) Ted Guian sa panayam ng Palawan News, ito ay upang malaman ang kanilang mga reaksyon at hinaing sa ipapatupad na paglalagay ng "barrier" bilang kondisyon na hinihingi ng DILG.
