Mayors for 30-day GCQ in NCR
Metro Manila mayors are recommending that the National Capital Region remain under General Community Quarantine (GCQ) for another 30 days, throughout September.
This recommendation was agreed upon by the mayors during a meeting on Sunday night with some Cabinet members.
Parañaque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez stated that the mayors will recommend to the IATF to maintain the GCQ status in Metro Manila starting September 1 for 30 days.
The mayors aim to strike a balance between reopening the economy gradually and maintaining strict health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Localized or granular lockdowns would also be enforced in areas where there are clusters of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infections.
If the recommendation is approved, the mayors are also considering implementing a shortened curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
