Metro Manila, Davao City, Batangas, Tacloban City, Lanao Del Sur, Iligan City, and Davao Del Norte will remain under general community quarantine (GCQ) from February 1 to 28, 2021.
Also under GCQ for the whole month of February is the Cordillera Administrative Region which includes Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Baguio City, Ifugao, Kalinga, and Mountain Province, presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement on January 29.
Santiago City, Ormoc City, and all other areas are placed under modified GCQ (MGCQ).
In GCQ areas, the logistics sector is allowed to operate at full capacity, according to the latest omnibus guidelines on the implementation of community quarantines.
The road, rail, maritime, and aviation sectors of public transportation are also allowed to operate at capacity and protocols in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Department of Transportation (DOTr).
MGCQ, which is the transition phase to the “new normal,” has more relaxed measures than GCQ in terms of limiting movement and transportation, regulating the operations of industries, and fielding uniformed personnel to enforce community quarantine protocols.
Road, rail, maritime, and aviation sectors of public transportation will be allowed to operate at a capacity based on guidelines issued by the DOTr.
Private transportation will also be allowed, again subject to DOTr guidelines.
Within and across areas placed under any form of community quarantine, movement of all types of cargoes via land, air, and sea should remain unhampered. Likewise, workers in the logistics sector, such as cargo, trucking, courier delivery and port operations, should be allowed to transit across areas placed under any form of community quarantine.
All LGUs are directed to strictly abide by this national policy, provided that only up to five personnel may operate cargo and delivery vehicles by land, with or without load.
LGUs and local health units are also enjoined not to issue orders contrary to or inconsistent with said directive.
