MANILA, March 21 (Reuters) - The Philippines will expand
tighter COVID-19 restrictions to include four provinces
surrounding the capital region, President Rodrigo Duterte's
spokesman said on Sunday, as the country battles a renewed surge
in infections.
The restrictions currently in effect in Metropolitan Manila
will also be imposed in the provinces of Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna
and Rizal, including night curfews and the prohibition of mass
gatherings, Harry Roque said.
