Of those caught flouting quarantine rules, 10% violated curfew ordinances, which is lower than the 24% the PNP previously recorded when Alert Level 3 was up, Eleazar said. Coronavirus curbs have been rapidly eased, particularly in Metro Manila over the past days as the number of new infections plummet and the region’s vaccination rate continues to improve.
