Metro Manila to stay under GCQ



The cities of Bacolod and Tacloban have joined Metro Manila in the areas placed under general community quarantine to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Iligan has been placed under a stricter modified enhanced community quarantine.

The rest of the country will be under a less stringent modified general community quarantine.

Citing the guidelines, presidential spokesman Harry Roque said as in May that ECQ refers to the implementation of temporary measures imposing stringent limitations on movement and transportation of people, strict regulation of operating industries, provision of food and essential services, and heightened presence of uniformed personnel to enforce community.

The MECQ, meanwhile, is the “transition phase” between ECQ and GCQ.

Under the MECQ, Roque said, stringent limiting movement and transportation of people, strict regulation of operating industries, provision of food and essential services are relaxed, and “the heightened presence of uniformed personnel becomes less necessary.”

“Ang GCQ, ito ay tumutukoy sa pansamantalang mga hakbang para malimitahan ang galaw, at transportasyon, regulation ng operating industries, and presence of uniformed personnel para ipatupad ang community protocols,” he said.

The MGCQ, on the other hand, is the “transition phase sa pagitan ng GCQ at tinatawag na new normal,” the Palace official said.
