Amid the continuing rise in COVID-19 cases in the country, President Rodrigo Duterte announced on Friday that Metro Manila and 12 other areas would remain under general community quarantine (GCQ)

The government also announced that it may ease restrictions on more business establishments—although more health protocols may be imposed—in a bid to contain the rising infections in the country as well as the economic recession that has rendered at least seven million Filipinos jobless.

In a recorded television footage released on Friday morning, President Duterte announced the extension of the GCQ upon the recommendation of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases . “There are many infections. You keep on going out, the transmission will be endless. Anyway there’s the vaccine,” Mr. Duterte said, apparently referring to a still nonexistent vaccine that China promised to provide the Philippines once it is available.
