Kids 5-17 again barred from leaving homes in MM, 4 other areas
ONLY individuals aged 18 to 65 years old can leave homes.
President Rodrigo Duterte hoisted heightened restrictions over National Capital Region, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Davao de Oro and Davao del Norte from July 23 until July 31 after the health department confirmed local transmission of Delta variant.
Children aged five to 17 years old are again prohibited from leaving their homes as Metro Manila and four other areas shifted to a stricter general community quarantine in the face of threat of more infectious Delta variant coronavirus.
Metro Manila mayors earlier called on the national government to revoke its policy allowing minors to leave their homes over fears of Delta variant.
But ahead of Metro Manila reverting to GCQ with heightened restrictions, some local government units including Navotas City have begun enforcing restrictions on minors due to rising cases.
Local health authorities have so far detected 47 cases of tDelta variant, 22 of which are local cases.
The Delta variant was first detected in India and is seen to be driving significant increase in COVID-19 cases even in countries with high vaccination rates.
