The MECQ also partially reopened malls, as well as dozen other services and industries which have been closed for two months since the initial lockdown.

Metro Manila is among the few regions, alongside  Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Zambales, Angeles City and Laguna, which are under Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ).

Cebu City and Mandaue City are under the more strict ECQ.
