Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, June 10) — President Rodrigo Duterte’s scheduled meeting with the COVID-19 task force set this week has been postponed, his spokesperson said on Wednesday.
Duterte was supposed to meet with the Inter-Agency Task Force on Thursday in Davao City, where they were expected to present their recommendations for the next phase of community quarantine. But Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the meeting and Duterte’s subsequent address to the nation will be held in Manila on June 15.
June 15 is also the date when Duterte’s order to impose community quarantine in the country will expire.
The President is currently in his home in Davao City, where he last held the IATF meeting.
