MANILA – The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said easing the quarantine status of the country to modified general community quarantine (MGCQ) starting March would address the fragmented travel restrictions by local government units (LGUs) across the country.
The move was proposed by the Inter-Agency Task Force and the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA).
“There is a need to harmonize and streamline the different travel restrictions imposed by LGUs to domestic travelers. These vary from province to province. Placing the entire country under one quarantine classification would allow the DILG to harmonize the fragmented travel regulations across the country,” DILG Undersecretary and spokesperson Jonathan Malaya said in a statement on Saturday.
