'Low risk' areas to be placed under modified general community quarantine: Palace COVID19Quarantine
MANILA - The entire Philippines will remain under community quarantine, albeit in different levels, until the end of May, Malacañang clarified Wednesday.
Año said the task force would amend its May 11 resolution that stated that areas classified as "low risk" for the coronavirus outbreak would be "no longer under community quarantine" by May 16. An amendment will come as local officials expressed apprehensions on the total lifting of community quarantine protocols in their area, Año said.
Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, whose signature was in the resolution, said there was an "honest mistake" as to the part that the community quarantine would be lifted in some areas.
