Local tourists and residents, seemingly unmindful of physical distancing measures still in effect, stroll near or take pictures beside the Casa Manila museum — which recreates a typical upper-class Spanish colonial home in the mid-19th century — in Intramuros, Manila on Feb. 20, 2021. Almost a year after the government imposed quarantines of varying strictness to curb the spread of Covid-19, scenes like this have become increasingly common despite the continued rise in coronavirus infections.
