The Philippines is dealing with a surge in COVID-19 cases, prompting the Palace to re-impose an enhanced community quarantine over the Greater Manila Area starting March 29.
The ECQ, where the movement of people is again limited, was supposed to end on April 4, but the Palace extended it to at least one more week in a bid to curb the surge.
