Workers living outside Metro Manila will still be allowed to enter the NCR during the 30-day “community quarantine” period provided they are properly identified as employed by private and government offices here, officials said. | JMAurelioINQ
Following directives from the President, officials on Friday scrambled to craft coherent travel guidelines before placing Manila under community quarantine by Sunday.
Lopez said companies would be required to issue IDs to their employees, especially those living outside Metro Manila, or show “proof of employment.” Traveling within Metro Manila is allowed but this may change if local governments impose their own local community quarantines. Nograles suggested that if the ultimate destination was in the provinces, it would be better and more convenient for travelers to fly into Clark in Pampanga or Mactan in Cebu or other airports not covered by any quarantine restrictions.
Violators of the community quarantine guidelines and those resisting to be placed under quarantine may face arrest, according to Metro Manila’s police chief.
