Manila implements 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew, other GCQ guidelines
Metro Manila mayors have agreed to implement a daily curfew from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. as the National Capital Region returns to a general community quarantine (GCQ) until August 31.
The Manila city government will implement this NCR-wide curfew after initially stating it would enforce a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew.
Manila will also use old quarantine passes to implement an odd-even scheme for going out in public.
Those with quarantine passes ending in odd numbers can go out on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, while those with even numbers can go out on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with specific time slots.
Only one quarantine pass per family will be issued, and holders must only leave their homes for necessities.
There will be no liquor ban in Manila during the GCQ, and wearing face masks and prohibiting social gatherings remain mandatory.
