NCR to be placed under ECQ starting August 6
Metro Manila will be placed under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) from August 6 to 20, said Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque in a televised address.
Roque said that the reversion to stricter quarantine restrictions “is a difficult decision,” but emphasized that they need to to this “to avoid a shortage in ICU beds and other hospital requirements if there will be a surge due to the Delta variant.”
From July 30 to August 5, the capital region is under General Community Quarantine (GCQ) with heightened and additional restrictions. ECQ will be implemented on August 6 to 20, unless extended.
