NCR mayors recommend 3 quarantine options after ECQ deadline expires on May 15 COVID19Quarantine COVID19
MANILA --A group representing all Metro Manila mayors on Saturday offered three quarantine options, as the current metro-wide lockdown is set to expire in a week.
Another option is to implement the general community quarantine, which would allow some businesses to operate and some public transport to run. The recommendations and scenarios will be presented to the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, the group of government agencies focused on coronavirus response in the Philippines.
"We will respect the wisdom of the IATF to decide. We and the Metro Manila mayors shall follow and be ready," he said.
