CLAIM: A supposed video report that claimed voters are required to wear face shields, bring their vaccination cards and negative RT-PCR test results recently circulated on social media.
This video, along with screenshots of it, surfaced online less than a week before the elections day on May 9.
RATING: The Facebook posts circulating are false and the video report with Comelec’s guidelines is outdated.
FACTS:
Comelec issued an advisory on social media that debunked these claims as false.
“Voters are NOT required to wear a face shield, or present a vaccination card or negative COVID-19 test result,” the poll body said.
It also advised the public against engaging in fake news online.
“Beware of fake news. Follow COMELEC to get accurate information,” Comelec said.
