List of entry and exit point roads with checkpoints to enforce community quarantine

Effective tonight at midnight, March 15, 2020, the entire Metro Manila will be placed on a community quarantine, as part of the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Emerging Infectious Diseases's (IATF-EID) Resolution number 11, which recommends such an undertaking in an effort to inhibit the spread of the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).

The community quarantine is expected to be lifted one (1) month from tonight, on April 14, 2020, also at midnight. Travel will be restricted to essential movements only. This means no more late-night bar-hopping and weekend leisure motorcycle rides. A curfew will also be in place between 8 PM to 5 AM daily.

For those that regularly have to enter and exit Metro Manila to get to work or medical access, below are the roads where government authorities will put checkpoints in place.
