The lockdown will continue, mostly in its current form, even when the country moves to Level 4 next Friday, with a strict curfew in place, no visiting or gatherings allowed, no interprovincial travel allowed, except in exceptional circumstances, and other movement restrictions.
The wearing of cloth masks will be mandatory for the general population and, even as some sectors of the economy reopens, strict social distancing and hygiene practices remain in place.
Manufacturing will open in a phased manner, and retail shops will be able to sell more items. No alcohol sales will be allowed however. Restaurants will be able to do food deliveries only.
