MANILA, Philippines – Palace spokesman Harry Roque declined on Saturday to confirm reports that Metro Manila and nearby provinces will be under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) amid rising COVID-19 cases.
“I cannot confirm,” Roque told INQUIRER.net in a text message when asked about Cavite Governor Jonvic Remulla’s social media posts that his province will be placed under ECQ.
In the now-deleted Facebook post, Remulla said that Cavite will be under ECQ from March 28 to April 4.
Meanwhile, Malacañang also announced that Roque will make an official announcement of the latest Inter-Institutional Working Group for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) on Saturday at 6 pm.
Currently, Metro Manila, Laguna, Cavite, Bulacan, and Rizal were placed under a general community quarantine (GCQ) bubble from March 22 to April 4.
