Palace Spokesman Harry Roque said he will recommend the use of quarantine passes in Metro Manila, which has been under general community quarantine (GCQ) since June 1.

This, according to Roque, would limit the movement of people in the streets and force them to stay home.

“Yan ang mumungkahi ko mamaya sa meeting ng (Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases). Dahil yung aking isang kasama sa trabaho na panandaliang nasa probinsya, isang obserbasyon nga niya, sa probinsya, maski (modified general community quarantine) na, hinahanapan pa rin ng quarantine passes para ma-discourage ang paglabas ng mga tao,” he said during a virtual presser Thursday.

“Siguro, isa sa mumungkahi ko mamaya na dahil GCQ naman tayo, kinakailangan pa rin na sitahin at hanapan ang mga tao ng kanilang mga quarantine passes para mabawasan pa rin yung mga lumalabas without having to lockdown the economy again.”

Roque had earlier raised the possibility of Metro Manila reverting to modified enhanced community quarantine due to the continuing increase in coronavirus disease cases in the capital region.
