Go said President Rodrigo Duterte will meet with the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) on Thursday to decide on whether to extend or modify the existing ECQ.

He also asked the public for their full cooperation so the country to overcome the crisis soon.

Go said Duterte is still mulling over the possible extension of the enhanced community quarantine, and had consulted experts and former health secretaries on the best way to contain and eventually stop the outbreak.
