You can't go out of your house if you're not part of this list

On March 17, 2020, an enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) has been implemented by the Philippine government. This means that the movement of the population in the entirety of Luzon is restricted.

As of now, the official lifting date of the ECQ is April 30, 2020.

As of April 21, 2020

However, reports are saying that the lockdown may further extend by two weeks in order to avoid losing all the efforts made to contain COVID-19 in the country. This raises the question, “who exactly is allowed to go outside?”

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) addressed that question by releasing an official list as to who are the only persons allowed during the Luzon-wide ECQ period to leave their homes.
