Año: Don't believe speculations on Metro Manila quarantine status
Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año urged the public not to believe speculations circulating on social media about Metro Manila reverting to Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) status.
Año reiterated that President Duterte will be the one to decide on the quarantine classifications for Metro Manila and other areas, with the announcement set for June 15.
He suggested that Metro Manila will most likely remain under General Community Quarantine (GCQ) after June 15, citing the continued recording of new COVID-19 cases.
The DILG chief fears that relaxing quarantine protocols further in Metro Manila could lead to a resurgence of cases.
Año mentioned that other areas being monitored for potential spikes in infections include Regions II, III, IV-A, and Cebu City.
