The General Community Quarantine in Metro Manila that will run until Aug. 31 is a strict one. It is meant to strike a balance between reopening the economy and guarding against a surge in COVID-19 infections that forced the reimposition of strict quarantines for 15 days at the start of the month.
For one, there is a curfew from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., that exempts essential workers and food deliveries.

Salons and barbershops can operate, but strictly for haircuts only. Mass gatherings are limited to 10 people.
