Lorenzana wants MGCQ for Metro Manila, Año says GCQ likely

Defense Secretary Lorenzana wants Metro Manila to be under MGCQ, but Interior Secretary Eduardo Año says GCQ will most likely remain after June 15 due to ongoing fresh COVID-19 cases.

Año noted that the decision on whether to relax quarantine measures in NCR depends on the trend of new cases and hospital capacity.

Government officials are still studying data trends and discussing options; President Duterte is expected to announce the fate of Metro Manila's quarantine status on Monday.
