Northern Philippines Under Lockdown To Contain Spread Of The Coronavirus

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - APRIL 15: Police officers wearing protective suits go around a slum area to fetch residents suspected of having COVID-19 to be taken to an isolation facility on April 15, 2020 in Manila, Philippines. The Philippines on Tuesday began targeted COVID-19 mass testing a month after the country's main island Luzon was put on lockdown. The mass testing was launched amid concerns that a large number of coronavirus infections are still going undetected, despite health officials already confirming at least 5,223 infections in the country which has resulted in at least 335 deaths. Luzon island, which includes the capital Manila, remains on lockdown as authorities continue to struggle with the growing number of coronavirus, Covid-19 cases. Land, sea, and air travel has been suspended, while government work, schools, businesses, and public transportation have been ordered shut in a bid to keep some 55 million people at home.
