MANILA, Philippines – Organizations are bringing various forms of assistance to vulnerable sectors amid the rising cases of novel coronavirus infections in the Philippines, even as the entire island of Luzon and some provinces and cities outside Metro Manila remained on lockdown.
The lockdowns involve strict quarantine procedures, suspension of transportation services, and regulation of food and essential health services, among others. Additional travel restrictions have been in place as local governments implement curfews from 8 pm to 5 am.
Here’s a list of the ongoing relief operations for urban poor families, daily wage workers, the homeless, elderly, displaced Lumad youth, and other marginalized communities affected by the measure. (READ: Shelters kept unlocked for the homeless during coronavirus outbreak)
