President
Rodrigo Duterte has officially announced the extension of the Luzon-wide
Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) until April 30 to thwart the increase of
coronavirus infection and further improve the capacity of the country’s health
facilities.
“The President approved the recommendation of
the Inter-Agency Task Force for the management of Infectious Disease (IATF) to
extend the ECQ until 11:59 p.m. 30th of April. Provided, that all exemptions granted by the Office
of the President or the IATF shall continue to be in effect for the duration of
the extended ECQ. Provided further that such extension of the ECQ shall be
without prejudice to the discretion of the President to relax the
implementation of the ECQ in some local jurisdictions, or the granting of
exemptions in favor of certain sectors, as public health considerations and
food security may warrant,” Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said.
Vice President Leni Robredo and several lawmakers have called
for an extension of the enhanced community quarantine, which is originally scheduled
to end on April 13, to slow the range of the virus.
Some senators, however, said food supply and movement of
primary goods and services must be guaranteed and that there should be mass
testing for the disease to allow prompt detection and treatment of cases.
