President Rodrigo Duterte is “inclined” to extend the enhanced community quarantine currently in place over Luzon to combat the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

In a televised address on Monday night, Duterte said the government was looking to extend the quarantine to last until April 30.

“If you really want to know, we have discussed it actually even before this, we are inclined to extend the lockdown up to April 30,” Duterte said.

The Luzon-wide quarantine was originally targeted to be lifted by April 14.

“In the meantime, magdo-double time kami doon sa tinatawag ninyong middle class,” he added.
