Lotto operations will resume in areas under modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ), the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said on Saturday.
In an advisory, the PCSO said this came as the National Capital Region (NCR) and Laguna have been placed under the less strict quarantine status from August 21 to 31 while Bataan will also be placed under MECQ from August 23 until the end of the month.
All gaming operations in these areas shall be in full capacity, it added.
“The gaming public is reminded to observe existing health and safety protocols. PCSO gaming operations in other areas shall follow the respective LGU quarantine classification and health and safety guidelines,” the agency said.
