Non-APOR residents not allowed to enter Metro Manila during ECQ – DILG
Only Authorized Persons Outside Residence (APOR) are allowed to travel across borders entering or leaving Metro Manila during the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) from August 6 to 20.
Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año announced that quarantine checkpoints will be established at NCR borders to enforce this restriction.
Non-APOR residents are not allowed to enter Metro Manila and should wait for the ECQ to end.
The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) released a comprehensive list of APORs, including healthcare personnel, frontline workers, and employees of essential establishments.
Barangays will activate quarantine passes to ensure only APORs, including those going for vaccination, can leave their homes.
The primary objective of the ECQ is to limit people's movement to curb the spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant in Metro Manila.
