Cops remain vigilant amid ECQ extension, easing in some areas
Joint Task Force COVID Shield Commander Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar urged security forces to maintain vigilance even as quarantine measures are eased in some areas after April 30.
While enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) will persist in high-risk areas until May 15, strict home quarantine measures will be partially relaxed in most provinces and regions starting May 1.
Eleazar stressed that troops in areas transitioning to general community quarantine (GCQ) are expected to continue implementing the guidelines set by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID).
High-risk areas such as Metro Manila, Central Luzon, and CALABARZON will remain under ECQ until May 15.
Provinces and regions deemed moderate- and low-risk will be placed under GCQ starting May 1.
The Joint Task Force COVID Shield will await further guidelines regarding any changes in the implementation of ECQ and GCQ.
