The rest of the country will remain under the least restrictive modified GCQ (MGCQ).
Roque said the latest quarantine status is still “subject to the appeals of local government units.”
The government is targeting to lower health care and intensive care unit (ICU) utilization rates to ease the quarantine protocols in the country amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.
Daily attack rate, two-week average attack rate, and health care utilization rate serve as indicators for community quarantine classification.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque on April 22 said augmenting ICU beds is crucial in relaxing the quarantine status in the country.
On Tuesday, Roque said Health Secretary Francisco Duque III is currently in talks with an Austrian firm for the purchase of additional 200 ICU beds.
