      President Rodrigo Duterte addressed the nation last night about the new quarantine status of Metro Manila and its neighboring cities. Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal will revert back to Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine or MECQ from August 4 to 18.

      The government has heard the pleas of medical workers for a “timeout” amid the rising COVID-19 cases. As many as 100 medical groups have asked for stricter quarantine restrictions to help slow down the rate of infection. The total number of coronavirus cases is now at 103,185, with 5,032 new cases confirmed.

      According to the DOTr, here are the allowed forms of transportation during MECQ:
