Everyone
in the Philippines is under quarantine, whether it is Enhanced Community
Quarantine (ECQ), Modified ECQ, General Community Quarantine (GCQ) or Modified
GCQ.
The
Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on the management of Emerging Infectious
Diseases took back its announcement on Tuesday that areas deemed as low-risk
will no longer be placed under any form of community quarantine starting May
16.
This,
after the local government officials of these low-risk areas expressed fears of
a surge in COVID-19 cases, should all restrictions be relaxed.
So
that’s it. Effective May 16, Metro Manila, the Province of Laguna and Cebu City
will be placed under Modified ECQ.
