Cavite and several other areas will revert to enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) starting March 29 until April 4 to control the recent surge in coronavirus cases. 

President Rodrigo Duterte has approved the COVID-19 task force’s recommendation to put Cavite, Bulacan, Laguna, Rizal and Metro Manila back under strict lockdown, said his spokesperson Harry Roque on Saturday, March 27. 

All the said areas, otherwise known as NCR Plus, were just placed under the less stringent general community quarantine (GCQ) bubble with additional restrictions last week until April 4 prior to the new guidelines. 

The same provisions from last year’s ECQ would be implemented as per the latest resolution of the IATF for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases.

The country’s COVID-19 tally hit past 118,000 on Saturday, with more than 9,000 new cases for second straight day. Total cases breached 702,000 with over 580,000 recoveries and at least 13,100 deaths.

The state statistics bureau reported on February 7 that inflation increased in the previous month, which was unexpected as the government had predicted a slowdown. The increase was mainly due to higher costs for water, electricity, and housing rental rates, as well as the continued rise in the prices of food, vegetables, and non-alcoholic beverages.
