The island, starting April 20, is put under modified community quarantine and the following are some of the adjustments based on a previous article:
- Allowance of operations of trycicles and trisikads
- Resumption of constructions all over the province
- Opening of restaurants, auto parts stores, and hardware.
The difference of modified compared to enhanced community quarantine are as follows:
- there will be mass transportation but limited only
- manufacturing and construction allowed already
- stand alone businesses will be open as long as to follow the COVID-19 guidelines
- private and government offices will open
- curfew will be for high risk groups such as the elders and the children
