Country readiness and response operations

Country-level coordination Following recommendations from the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infec-

tious Diseases (IATF-EID), the government has adopted the extension of a modified enhanced community

quarantine in NCR, Laguna and Cebu City until 31 May 2020 due to ‘high-risk’ of COVID-19 spread. The

modified enhanced community quarantine allows for limited movement for obtaining essential services

and work, the operation of selected manufacturing and processing plants for up to 50% of the workforce

and limited transport services for essential goods and services.

The rest of the country is categorized as at ‘moderate risk’, and will be put under general community

quarantine after 15 May (Region II, III, IV-A except Laguna, CAR, VII except Cebu, IX, XI, and XIII) and ‘low-

risk’ to maintain minimum health standards (Region I, IV-B, V, VI, VIII, X, XII, and BARMM).

cency with proper precautionary measures.
