CNN Philippines (Metro Manila, May 30) — President Rodrigo Duterte is back in Davao City two days before the country is set to further ease quarantine restrictions.
The rest of Central Visayas and the regions of Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon and Calabarzon, the province of Pangasinan and cities of Zamboanga and Davao will also be under GCQ, while the rest of the country will be under modified GCQ, the lowest form of quarantine.
Presidential Security Group chief Col. Jesus Durante confirmed the news to CNN Philippines on Saturday.
On May 16, Duterte flew home to his hometown after two months of staying in Malacañan Palace in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. He returned to Manila three days later.
Duterte went through self-quarantine after some of his colleagues, whom he had interactions with, tested positive for COVID-19. But he himself had tested negative for the virus.
Metro Manila, and cities of Cebu and Mandaue will transition to GCQ on June 1 to June 15 after two months of enhanced community quarantine, a more stringent form of restriction.
The regions of Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon and Calabarzon, the provinces of Albay and Pangasinan and Davao City will also be under GCQ, while the rest of the country will be under modified GCQ, the lowest form of quarantine.
