Metro Manila mayors have agreed to shorten the curfew hours to further boost the economy according to Metro Manila Development Authority Chairman Benhur Abalos.
Abalos said that Metro Manila’s coronavirus average daily attack rate is now at 6.76 percent. The attack rate is the number of new cases divided by population.

The region’s hospital occupancy rate also went down to 36.3 percent.
Starting June 15, the curfew hours in Metro Manila will be from 12:00 AM to 4:00 AM. The previous curfew was at 10:00 PM to 4:00 AM.
“This will give more time sa mga taong kakain sa restaurants, sa mga malls na magbukas may travel time, at siguro makatulong nang husto na sa ating ekonomiya. Ito’y pinasa ng lahat ng alkalde ng Kalakhang Maynila,” Abalos said.
