President Rodrigo Duterte has approved the Inter-agency Task Force (IATF) suggestion of extending the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon. Instead of an April 13 lift, the entire Luzon will now be on lockdown until April 30, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nagrales, spokesperson of IATF for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, said that President Duterte has accepted the recommendation to extend the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine until 11:59pm of April 30.
So far, the Philippines has a record of 3,660 COVID-19 cases with 163 deaths and 73 recoveries.
