Recently opened sectors in areas under general community quarantine (GCQ) will not be allowed to operate in the next 15 days, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez said on Monday.

“Under the MECQ (modified enhanced community quarantine), there are still a number of business sectors allowed although most at limited scale, while some of the recently allowed sectors under GCQ such as dine-in restaurants, barbershops, salons and the recent additions such as gyms, review and testing centers, other personal grooming shops, internet cafes, shall not be allowed temporarily in the next 15 days,” Lopez said in a statement.
