Our province has been placed under the General Community Quarantine for over two weeks now. There was no new confirmed covid-19 case for about a month already. Some business establishment has already opened. The malls have opened as well at limited capacity.
Fast food restaurants were open for take-out only. In one of the malls, I observed that they were limiting the number of people inside the building. A face-mask must be worn to enter any establishment. And the guards would spray sanitizer to each person’s hands.
And the people queueing to pay for the groceries are keeping their distance… although it’s a bit closer than the recommended physical distancing. The floor is marked with yellow tape to help maintain the distance.
Again, we don’t have had any active covid-19 cases in our city. But practicing physical distancing and wearing mask would help prevent a resurgence.

It’s great that things in your city are calm and people are still following the recommendations!
Thanks, Ellie. I think most people here understand the threat of the virus.
There are a few people who don’t understand the possibility of a resurgence though, thus ignore social distancing when no authorities are around.
Unfortunately, there are such people everywhere.
It can’t be helped, unfortunately. There will always be people like that in any group or community.
Always good to hear positive news about COVID.
The virus can be beaten. We just need to be disciplined and must welcome a new norm for the next two years.
I hope your country continues to implement social distancing because the USA is clueless on this concept
Thanks @ahol888, I think the whole country will be under General Community Quarantine even after we zeroed out covid-19. It requires discipline though. There are still some people who chose to ignore this concept.
The quarantine was an effective measure to contain the virus in our province. We had five cases only. All five were from covid-infected areas before the quarantine was implemented.
That is tremendous. Keep posting articles about social distancing because it is important to learn from those who are successful in slowing down Covid-19
That’s what I’m trying to do. 🙂
I have not responded as it all depends on how severe the situation is.
In our case, we are still practicing social distancing as a preventive measure. We no longer have an active covid-19 patient for a month.
