Metro Manila will stay under Alert Level 3 until the end of the month, while a new set of quarantine protocols, including additions to the “red list” countries, was released by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging and Infectious Disease (MEID).
These came on a day when the number of daily coronavirus disease (COVID-19) new cases hit a record-high anew with more than 37,000 infections.

Devotees have also been advised to just attend online masses on the occasion of the Feast of the Sto. Nino in Tondo this weekend.
