As many areas shift to loosened quarantine measures, several residents of Boracay have questioned the continued ban on swimming along the island’s famous white beach. They called on the local government of Malay town in Aklan province to allow swimming even with regulations. Swimming is allowed by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF)on Emerging Infectious Diseases in areas under general community quarantine (GCQ) like Aklan, they pointed out.
