Barangay in Manila hands out 'home quarantine pass' to families
The Manila city government has imposed a strict policy limiting one person per family to leave their homes to purchase essential goods during the enhanced community quarantine.
Barangay officials in Manila are directed to issue passes to only one member of a household who will be allowed to go out to buy their needs.
Each authorized family representative will be issued a barangay certificate and ID with a control number to ensure no duplication.
This measure aims to balance the need for residents to acquire necessities with the national government's directive for strict home quarantine to curb the spread of COVID-19.
The enhanced community quarantine in Luzon began on March 17 and will last until April 12, involving the suspension of classes, flexible work arrangements for some companies, and a ban on mass transportation.
