Iloilo province, Iloilo City, Cagayan de Oro and Gingoog City have been placed under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), the most restrictive classification, until the end of the month, Malacañang announced on Friday.

The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases moved these areas to ECQ until July 31 on the recommendation of the Department of Health, presidential spokesperson Harry Roque Jr. said.
