Individual Responsibility Up As Restrictions Are Eased
Manila Bulletin
|May 17, 2020
The two-month lockdown officially de-scribed as Enhanced Community Quar-antine (ECQ) for Metro Manila and all of Luzon ended last Friday, May 15, along with the State of Calamity for the rest of the country. Most of the regions and provinces of the country are now officially under General Community Quarantine (GCQ) with a much lower level of restrictions.
-
But Metro Manila, Laguna, and Cebu City are in a special category – no longer under ECQ but not yet GCQ. The COVID-19 infections are down but they remain high-risk and so these three areas, which have the biggest concentrations of businesses and workers in the country, have been assigned a special category. It is Modified ECQ – between ECQ and GCQ.
