Following directives from the President, officials on Friday scrambled to craft coherent travel guidelines before placing Manila under community quarantine by Sunday. The quarantine announcement rattled those who lived outside Metro Manila but work here. Lopez said companies would be required to issue IDs to their employees, especially those living outside Metro Manila, or show “proof of employment.”Nograles said private companies and government agencies must issue certifications to their employees living outside of Metro Manila. Traveling within Metro Manila is allowed but this may change if local governments impose their own local community quarantines. Violators of the community quarantine guidelines and those resisting to be placed under quarantine may face arrest, according to Metro Manila’s police chief.
