The local governments of Cavite and Laguna have issued guidelines for residents as Mega Manila returns to modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cavite Governor Jonvic Remulla said on Tuesday that Cavite will implement at least 20 guidelines including cancelation of "jowa" passes, the closure of tiangges, salons, barbershops, and computer shops, and a ban on wakes.

Quarantine passes will again be required. Residents who wander outside their homes without a quarantine pass will be fined.

An 8 p.m. to 4 a.m curfew will also be implemented and barangay checkpoints will be enforced.

The operation of factories will be allowed, public transportations will also be allowed to operate if they will serve factories and essential workers. Employees are required to present their work ID and work schedule at checkpoints.

Mall operations will be limited to essential banks, supermarkets, and pharmacies and will reimpose a "local residents" protocol, except for Tagaytay, Trece Martires, Indang, and Amadeo.

Unofficial travel will be strictly limited and "jowa" passess are canceled. Prior to MECQ, Cavite allowed residents to cross towns without travel pass to visit their boy or girlfriend.

In Laguna, Governor Ramil Hernandez said the province will implement random inspection at checkpoints and ban public transport.

Hernandez, in an interview over DZMM Teleradyo, said the local government will lend its vehicle to help ferry essential workers, but companies should also provide shuttle service while public transport is suspended.

To decongest isolation facilities, residents are allowed to go on home quarantine if they have a separate room or do not live with an elderly person, pregnant women, children, or those vulnerable to the disease.
