Aurora governor adopts general community quarantine
Aurora province has adopted a General Community Quarantine (GCQ) starting May 2 to May 15, despite initial hesitations from Governor Gerardo Noveras who preferred to maintain Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) measures.
Governor Noveras issued Executive Order no. 2020-0025 to implement GCQ, superseding his previous order to continue ECQ protocols.
The province will continue to enforce a liquor ban and an 8 PM to 5 AM curfew under the GCQ.
Ilocos Norte, which also had only three recorded COVID-19 cases, had initially postponed its GCQ implementation and stated it would remain under ECQ until definitive guidelines were received.
