[In a Memorandum dated 7 April 2020, the Executive Secretary, acting for the President, extended the effectivity of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) until 30 April 2020 (effectively extended until 15 May 2020 in high-risk areas; see definitive guidelines under Executive Order No. 112). This covers only Luzon, but Local Government Units (LGUs) outside Luzon are free to modify their ECQ periods. This effectively extends the period for the grace period for loans and rents, duty-free importation, holiday pay, and anti-hoarding, among others. Here is the complete text of the OES Memorandum.]
