At midnight, March 17, the Philippine government has put the entire island Luzon an “enhanced community quarantine” to limit the movement of people.
This was a measure recommended by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on coronavirus.
“I have come to the conclusion that stricter measures are necessary. For this reason, pursuant to my powers as President under the Constitution and RA 11332 (Law on Reporting of Communicable Diseases), I am placing the entire mainland of Luzon under quarantine until April 12, 2020,” President Rodrigo Duterte said.
