"Metro Manila’s current risk classification as Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) shall be maintained until September 15, 2021, or until the pilot GCQ with Alert Level System is implemented, whichever comes first," Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement.
Roque added that indoor and al-fresco dine-in services, and personal care services including beauty salons, beauty parlors and nail spas shall remain prohibited.
Religious services, on the other hand, performed through online video recording and transmission shall be allowed.
