The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Emerging Infectious Diseases has placed Cagayan, Apayao, and Benguet under modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Malacañang said Monday.
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said under IATF Resolution 114-C issued on May 9, the three provinces will be under MECQ from May 10 to 23, 2021.
“The risk-level classification of the aforementioned provinces shall be without prejudice to their reclassification as may be warranted and the declaration of localized Enhanced Community Quarantine in critical areas,” the IATF Resolution read.
