Once the ECQ ends, Duterte was hopeful that priority construction projects may resume under a “modified” quarantine.

“We might open partially -- construction workers and things like that. You wait for the… Lalabas na ho, lalabas na ‘yung modified --- modified ang ano natin quarantine (It will be released soon--the modified quarantine),” he said.


On Thursday, President Rodrigo Duterte approved the IATF-EID’s recommendations to extend the ECQ in high-risk areas for Covid-19 until May 15 and place the areas considered moderate-risk and low-risk of the coronavirus infections under GCQ from May 1 to 15.

Select workers in non-essential services are allowed to go to work, once areas that have low or moderate risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) infections are placed under GCQ.

Under the GCQ, non-leisure shops in malls operating in low-risk or moderate-risk areas are likewise allowed to resume their operations.

High-risk areas placed under ECQ until May 15 are Metro Manila, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Pangasinan, Benguet, Albay, Catanduanes, Davao del Norte, Davao City, Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro, Antique, Iloilo, Cebu, and Cebu City.

Other areas classified as moderate-risk and low-risk of spreading Covid-19 were placed under GCQ. These areas are still subject to further evaluation.


If the infection rate does not progress, low-risk areas will no longer be placed under GCQ after May 15.
