Quezon City proposes 'transition period' to GCQ until May 31

Quezon City proposes a 'transition period to general community quarantine' from May 16 to May 31.

Mayor Joy Belmonte plans to present this recommendation to other Metro Manila mayors during a meeting on Saturday, May 9.

The transition period would involve strict health protocols for businesses and continued checkpoints.

Quezon City aims to prepare business establishments and residents before ending the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) and moving towards GCQ.

The local government intends to develop localized guidelines to ensure safety while reviving the economy.
