By VIRGIL LOPEZ, GMA News
Metro Manila, the province of Laguna and Cebu City will be placed under a modified enhanced community quarantine from May 16 to 31, Malacañang said Tuesday.
Here’s the difference between ECQ and modified ECQ based on the guidelines released by the government:
ECQ:
- no movement regardless of age and health status
- minimal economic activity except for utility services such as food, power and water and the critical economic sector
- no transportation activity except for utility services
- suspension of physical classes
Modified ECQ:
- limited movement within containment zone for obtaining essential services and work
- operations of selected manufacturing and processing plants up to maximum of 50% workforce
- limited transporting services for essential goods and services
- suspension of physical classes
Areas with moderate risk for COVID-19 transmission will be under general community quarantine while those classified under low-risk areas will no longer under either ECQ or GCQ. — RSJ, GMA News
