UPDATED as of 26 March 2020: At a press conference on March 16, Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said that under the enhanced community quarantine, groceries, food preparation and food delivery services, and other establishments providing basic services shall remain open.

At a press conference on March 14, MMDA Chief Jose Arturo Santillan Garcia, Jr. announced that the NCR community quarantine due to increasing COVID-19 cases began at midnight on March 15, 2020. More guidelines were announced, including a recommendatory curfew from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. until April 13.
