Enhanced Community Quarantine

COVID 19 virus made our world totally standstill. Since President Rodrigo Duterte announced that Metro Manila will be under "community quarantine", people began to panic. Panic buying of basic necessities such as food, and most especially alcohol and face mask. After two days of declaring that Metro Manila will be under community quarantine, the President declared the whole island of Luzon under the "enhanced community quarantine" until April 14, 2020, which means all people of Luzon must stay at home to avoid spreading and contacting the dreaded Coronavirus. Schools, offices (both private and public), restaurants, and malls are required to close. Individuals are to practice social distancing which means they must stay 6 feet away from other people, avoid large crowds and big events. Only essential people are allowed to work specifically the health workers, the AFP, PNP, MMDA, and the basic needs provider. Transportation are also on halt exemption to those who will transport health workers to hospitals, food delivery services, employees who are required on skeletal workforce (provided they bring their company ID, COE, and 1 government ID). MRT, LRT, and PNR operations are also on halt. On the first day of Metro Manila community enhancement, I was able to take pictures of the situation from the last day of my work going home.
