MANILA, Philippines — Interior Secretary Eduardo Año on Thursday said some cities in Metro Manila may be placed under general community quarantine (GCQ) after the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) ends on May 15. “There are areas already in Metro Manila that are actually improving like San Juan and Valenzuela but Quezon City is still really what we call a very high-risk area with the 1,000 positive,” Año said on ANC. ADVERTISEMENT“Some cities in Metro Manila may be downgraded into GCQ but we still have eight days to go so we wait for data analytics,” he added. As of Wednesday night, Valenzuela City has 122 confirmed cases of COVID-19 including 23 recoveries and eight deaths.
