Curfew in Metro Manila: Who's allowed out

A two-week curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. is enforced in Metro Manila starting March 15 to curb rising COVID-19 cases.

Exceptions include medical workers, essential goods transporters, private employees like call center agents, construction workers, media practitioners, airport travelers, security guards, and fast food service staff (takeout only).

Essential activities allowed during curfew hours are market deliveries, pharmacies, hospitals, convenience stores, BPO firms, and food take-out services.

Quezon City has also banned liquor sales until the end of March and suspended gyms, spas, and internet cafes operations.
