Two days before the National Capital Region (NCR) pilot tests the government’s new Alert Level quarantine system, the IATF has released the guidelines that will take effect from Thursday, September 16 to Thursday, September 30, 2021.
Under the new Alert Level system, the IATF will be going away with the current ECQ, MECQ, GCQ, MGCQ system. Instead, there will be two general classifications—GCQ and ECQ. GCQ will have Alert Levels 1 to 4, while ECQ will now be known as Alert Level 5.
For September 16, Metro Manila will be placed in Alert Level 4 which is very similar to the current MECQ except it allows more industries, particularly personal care services to open, while also giving fully vaccinated people more freedom.
