“For those that are still open, we shall be offering drive-thru and delivery services, as well as take out (only for stores allowed by local ordinances),” it said.

“Delivery of your orders may take longer than usual so we are seeking for your patience and understanding during this time,” it added.

The entire Luzon was placed under enhanced community quarantine at 12 a.m. on Tuesday, March 17, as ordered by President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday night.

Under this condition, strict home quarantine will be implemented in all households, transportation will be suspended, provision for food and essential health services will be regulated and the presence of uniformed personnel to enforce quarantine procedures will be heightened.

“Please note that we have intensified our sanitation and social distancing protocols whether for drive thru, deliver or take out for your safety as well as our store team and rider,” Jollibee said. —Ted Cordero/KG, GMA News
