As the number of cases increased immediately during the implementation of the ECQ, we could not help but ask, “is the ECQ in NCR working?”.
The limited number of vaccines against the dreaded COVID-19 in the country has left the government no choice but to use non-medical interventions to slow down the spread of the disease. This includes the order to use masks, the mandate for physical distancing, and the implementation of quarantine protocols in highly affected areas. This month, the strictest level of quarantine was imposed in NCR to reduce the impact of critical cases on the medical system and control the spread of the virus.
The government announced on July 30 that ECQ would start on August 6 as it was feared that the Delta variant is already in the National Capital Region. On August 6, the Department of Health confirmed that the highly contagious Delta coronavirus variant has been found in all cities of Metro Manila. As you can see, the lines are color-coded using their Z values. The red lines mean that MORE people traveled into an area, while green lines mean that fewer people went into an area. During this pandemic, you would want to see NO lines as much as possible.
This table charts the places where travel happened after the most recent ECQ . I sorted them from HIGHEST to Lowest.
