Hello everyone. Finally, i thought of peeping in here. I miss my friends here. I was busy with household chores since we went on lockdown March 18. Also, i was addicted into watching Netflix. He he he Now, COVID cases in the Philippines is at 115,980 , recovered is at 67,270 and deaths is at 2,123. In our province we were on General Community Quarantine after more than 2 months but now we are at Moderate Community Quarantine which means 60 yr old and above as well as 20 and below has to stay at home at all times. Violations to ordinances with regards COVID will be penalized or be put in jail. How's COVID in your place? And how are you ?

Right now we are fine, very few new cases. We were confined at home (over 60) during 5 weeks from March to April, during May and June we were allowed to go out two hours in the morning, no more lockdown now.

Yes, always wear mask, observe social distancing and always wash the hands. In addition lately, everyone is also required to wear a face shield in addition to the face mask when they go out and use public transport.

Playing video games, watching movies, reading writing a little now and then on Quora and messing about here, viewing what's on youtube, going for walks, little gardening, having a coffee inside the car sometimes, going to the grocery store and local store, some cleaning, eating, sleeping, talking on the telephone, sitting outside, climbing on the walls and ceiling, making a tea and talking to you.

There is an increase in the number of cases here in my province especially in the city. There is one barangay that is locked down because of the sudden increase. And they say that these new cases didn't travel out of the city and no exposure to positive cases. I don't go out of town yet. I am the one in charge of buying essentials at home and I just buy at our own market. And usually I go out when I know that there are less people outside.

Same here, lately the cases of people infected with COVID, really increased. That's because , when we went into GCQ, the people began mingling , forgetting social distancing. THus , now we were put on MGCQ, Me, being a senior now and my pregnant officemate is on work from home mode.

@SIMPLYD yes that is right.. Even here, when we were put under MGCQ, especially in the city, people, including kids and seniors started going outdoors even if it is not yet allowed. My parents who are also senior citizens just stay at home...

It’s pretty relaxed here. We have 10 deaths. Nobody stays home unless older than 75. All entertainment was closed but they opened the ,ovie theater two weeks ago. I can wear the mask in my local supermarket if I want to. Hotels are starting to open to tourists. But most people are still out of a job. So poverty is the issue for our economy.

Here, people who are under 20 and over 60 yr old are not allowed to go out yet , since March 18. Although,after two months, works has resumed although only 50% of employees can at the same time be at the office. Work scheduling are done so there would be a social distancing with the employees. It's hard because I am again on work from home, after the Mayor put a heavy restriction , because the COVID cases number has increased. We are now at 400 plus though recoveries is more than 300 and deaths at 8. Stay safe.

It's so sad, that until now there is no vaccine out yet, although , they said that in this country and that they already have discovered a vaccine. Russia for example, said they already have the vaccine. I really hope it;s true and it can be exported all countries.

In the city where I live, authorities have taken the whole pandemic seriously. Unfortunately the city is still locked up, but maybe soon they will start opening as the virus cases Havana decreased significantly! But let's see what happens!
