MODIFIED COMMUNITY QUARANTINE – Everything you need to know about the difference of Modified Community Quarantine and Enhanced Community Quarantine.
In Luzon, an enhanced community quarantine has been declared initially until April 12 only, however, due to the increasing coronavirus-related figures, it has been extended until April 30.

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
