It's the first day of a new quarantine classification system in Metro Manila that is alert-based and locks down buildings, houses, streets and barangays instead of entire regions. The goal is to avoid further devastation to livelihoods from large-scale ECQ and its sub-tiers that have become the norm for 18 months.
We rounded up our guides on the new normal, which could be implemented in the rest of the country once successful in Metro Manila:
What is the new alert-based quarantine system?
Which businesses and establishments can open and at what capacity?
What about APORs and who can go outdoors?
Will it make a difference in movement if I'm fully vaccinated?
What are the new technical terms that I need to know so I don't get confused?
Can I go on staycation in Metro Manila or travel outside NCR for leisure?
I need to go to the mall, what times are they open?
What about police checkpoints at the borders?
