NCR's uniform curfew hours to compel quarantine violators to behave- DILG
Metro Manila mayors agreed to implement uniform curfew hours in the National Capital Region from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., starting March 15, 2021, until March 31, 2021, to curb the spread of COVID-19.
This decision was made after health experts warned of an alarming surge in COVID-19 cases and is supported by the Department of Health.
The curfew is expected to compel quarantine violators to behave, according to the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
Essential and night-shift workers, including those in food delivery services, will be exempted but must present their work identification or certificate.
Public transportation and 24-hour food delivery services will continue to operate during curfew hours.
The Metro Manila Council adopted MMDA Resolution No. 21-03 S. 2021 implementing these common curfew hours for the whole NCR.
The DILG hopes to see a decline in coronavirus cases with the common curfew hours, localized lockdowns, and crackdown on public health standard violators, urging the public to cooperate.
