Metro Manila and neighboring provinces Bulacan, Laguna, Cavite, and Rizal will remain under general community quarantine or GCQ "with restrictions" until June 15.
The ever-changing quarantines at times cause confusion with the need for Malacañang to issue additional guidelines.
Here are the restrictions to remember for GCQ in the Greater Manila Area or the so-called "NCR Plus":
1. The following are prohibited from operating:
- Entertainment venues such as bars and theaters
- Recreational venues such as internet cafes and arcades
