COVID-19 UPDATE IN PH
61,266 CONFIRMED CASES
1,643 DEATHS
21,440 RECOVERED
As of July 16, 2020
The National Capital Region (NCR or Metro Manila), which remains under the general community quarantine (GCQ) until July 31, will be placed under the more restrictive modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) if the COVID-19 situation worsens.
According to presidential spokesman Harry Roque, President Duterte originally approved the recommendation of the University of the Philippines (UP) to place Metro Manila under stricter quarantine measures but two COVID-19 czars appealed the move.
“Nag-apela po ang ating Chief Implementer [Carlito Galvez] at ang ating Secretary of the Interior and Local Government [Eduardo Año] dahil nangako ang ating mayors na paiigtingin ang kanilang lockdown; palalakasin ang testing, tracing, at treatment; at patutuparin ng mas malawakan ang restrictions sa GCQ (Secretaries Galvez and Año appealed the recommendation because the Metro Manila mayors promised to intensify their lockdown, testing, tracing, treatment, and the enforcement of quarantine restrictions),” he said Wednesday evening.
