June 1. The whole Philippines will no longer be under ECQ or Enhanced Community Quarantine - the term preferred by our President instead of 'Lockdown'. However, the country will be placed under GCQ or General Community Quarantine. Under GCQ, more business establishments can open. But some, with limitations. Restaurants and fast-food chains will be open for take-out and deliveries only. Many people though are scared that the coronavirus will spread again. A thought that we should always consider under the circumstances. Even though in GCQ, there is a way that we, the people, can do to help prevent the resurgence of the virus. These are: 1. STAY AT HOME! As much as possible, go out only when necessary! 2. Maintain physical distancing whenever you are in a crowded place! Always try to keep your distance from other people! 2. Wear your face mask each time you go outside! 3. Always bring and use a hand sanitizer. 4. Avoid touching any parts of your face with your hands. 5. Avoid touching anything like handrails, tables, or anything with your hands unless it is absolutely necessary. 6. Avoid taking a crowded public utility vehicle. We definitely don't want a resurgence of the virus, or the so-called the second wave. However, our economy must move forward again, even slowly. Even under GCQ, we must do our part and don't blame everything to the government.

Right! Because there's no concrete assurance yet of being safe outside.

You too, @unsulliedcatt. probably if there are no more active cases in a month in our area and neighboring provinces, I could say it would be safe here for us.
