President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has extended the general community quarantine (GCQ) “with heightened restrictions” enforced in National Capital Region (NCR) Plus from June 1 to 15 to curb the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The NCR Plus is composed of Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal.
