On June 30, 2020, the government announced that Metro Manila’s general community quarantine (GCQ) is extended from July 1, 2020 to July 15, 2020, from its earlier imposition effective June 1, 2020. Under GCQ, more industries are allowed to operate, and minimum public health standards and social distancing measures are set in place. However, movement of people is still limited to accessing basic necessities and for work in industries allowed to operate. Work in government offices may be at full operational capacity or under such alternative work arrangements as agencies may deem proper in accordance to the issuances of the Civil Service Commission.
