Govt revises MGCQ guidelines, bans high risk persons from going out of homes

NOT everyone will be allowed to go out of their homes in areas under the modified general community quarantine (MGCQ), Malacañang announced on Thursday, after the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for Emerging Infectious Diseases revised its guidelines for the movement of persons.

In a virtual press briefing, Palace spokesman Harry Roque Jr. said the IATF issued a new resolution stating that the movement of all persons would be limited to accessing essential goods and services and for work in offices allowed to operate under MGCQ.
