On Monday night, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the enhanced community quarantine for the entire island of Luzon to address the threat of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The enhanced community quarantine will run until April 12.
Based on the guidelines released by the Palace last Saturday, enhanced community quarantine means:
- home quarantine will be implemented in all households
- transportation will be suspended
- provision for food and essential health services will be regulated
- the presence of uniformed personnel to enforce quarantine procedures will be heightened
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) assured the public that the price of the medical supplies and basic goods will not skyrocket despite the lockdown.
DTI released the following guide for price freeze of medical supplies and basic necessities in the National Capital Region (NCR).
