On Monday night, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the enhanced community quarantine for the entire island of Luzon to address the threat of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The enhanced community quarantine will run until April 12.
Based on the guidelines released by the Palace last Saturday, enhanced community quarantine means:
- home quarantine will be implemented in all households
- transportation will be suspended
- provision for food and essential health services will be regulated
- the presence of uniformed personnel to enforce quarantine procedures will be heightened
