Meanwhile, those delivering goods will still be permitted entry, and food delivery will also be allowed, provided that the food being delivered is from inside the city and not outside.
For vehicles that need to pass through Navotas, they may only do so using C-4 Road, North Bay Boulevard, C-3 Road, Lapu-Lapu Avenue, and R-10.
"At no instance shall such vehicles be allowed to remain idle and/or stop along these thoroughfares, except when flagged at police checkpoints," the order read.
During the lockdown, the local government said, residents should strictly observe stay-at-home protocols. They will only be able to go out if they need to go to the markets or buy medicines, but it will still depend on their scheduled day for going out.
Meanwhile, all markets will be closed for disinfection on Sundays.
The order further read that residents will not be permitted to leave the city unless they can show proof that they are working in other parts of Metro Manila, have a scheduled flight, or need to seek medical or emergency assistance.
