Palace: Some NCR areas to stay under ECQ, others may shift to GCQ
Some areas in Metro Manila considered high risk for coronavirus will remain under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), while others may transition to general community quarantine (GCQ).
Interior Secretary Eduardo Año expects San Juan and Valenzuela to be placed under GCQ after May 15 due to slowing case doubling times.
Año noted that ECQ may continue in areas with rising infections, such as Quezon City, Rizal, Albay, Zamboanga City, Davao, and Cebu.
The decision on which areas remain under ECQ will be granular and based on local data regarding infection rates, health capacity, and economic factors.
