II. ENUMERATION
1. ENHANCED COMMUNITY QUARANTINE is the strictest of these measures and it
is effectively a total lockdown. There are no flights limited to international, no public
transportation and mass gatherings are not allowed. It is a 100% stay at home and
others work from home.
MODIFIED ENHANCED COMMUNITY QUARANTINE is the limited movement
within zone for obtaining essential services and work and limited transportation
services for essential goods and services. There is also a suspension of physical
classes.
 GENERAL COMMUNITY QUARANTINE is the implementation of temporary
measures limiting movement and transportation. The operation of government
offices and industries is up to maximum of 75% workforce. There is a mass
gathering (maximum of 10) and alternative work arrangement (40hours, 4-day
work week)
2. Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, or clean them with alcohol-based
hand rub.

4. Older people and with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease,
diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious
illness and poverty and crowding and gender and occupation frontliners
5. Maintain respiratory isolation – isolation rooms should be well-marked with limited
access; all who enter the restricted-access room should use personal protective equipment,
such as masks and gowns.
Enforce strict hand hygiene – to reduce or prevent transmission of coronavirus,
patients should wash hands after coughing, as should all who enter or leave the room.
Provide information – educate the patient and patient’s family members of the
transmission of COVID-19, the tests to diagnose the disease, disease process, possible
complications, and ways to protect oneself and one’s family from coronavirus.
Monitor O2 saturation – normal O2 saturation as measured with pulse oximeter should
be 94 or higher; patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms can develop hypoxia, with
values dropping low enough to warrant supplemental oxygen.
Monitor vital signs – particularly temperature and respiratory rate, as fever and
dyspnea are common symptoms of COVID-19.
