Some LGUs may limit outdoor exercises amid MECQ —MMDA
Outdoor exercises are permitted again in the National Capital Region (NCR) starting August 21, 2021, as the area transitions to a modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ).
Metro Manila mayors have the discretion to impose limitations on these activities to prevent a COVID-19 outbreak, potentially based on the number of COVID-19 cases in their areas.
Individual outdoor exercises such as walking, jogging, running, or biking are allowed within the general area of one's residence, specifically within the barangay, purok, subdivision, and/or village.
Minimum public health standards, including wearing face masks and maintaining social distancing, must be observed.
As of August 21, Quezon City reported the highest number of new COVID-19 cases in Metro Manila with 738, followed by Manila with 479, and Makati and Taguig with 350 each.
