President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to announce new quarantine classifications Monday night.
Duterte will meet with members of the Inter-Agency Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases later this afternoon, according to Malacañang.
Last month, the Chief Executive placed Metro Manila, Batangas, Iloilo City, Bacolod City, Tacloban City, Iligan City, Lanao del Sur under General Community Quarantine (GCQ) from November 1 until 30 to reduce the spread of coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
Meanwhile, Metro Manila mayors have recommended the extension of GCQ until the end of 2020 to a possible surge in Covid-19 cases after the Christmas season.
As of November 29, the Philippines has recorded 429,864 cases of Covid-19. Of this figure, 398,624 have recovered while 8,373 have died.
