GCQ, ECQ, MGCQ, MECQ? Rappler explains the government's new parameters in deciding when to get stricter or more lax with quarantine rules in a city or province:

Who makes the decisions and when?

Decisions to de-escalate the classifications take place monthly. But decisions to escalate, or tighten restrictions in an area, are made twice a month. This is because the task force studies transmission indicators bi-monthly so this arrangement allows them to quickly tighten restrictions in a COVID-19 hot spot, without waiting for the monthly decision.

Healthcare utilization rate means the percentage of COVID-19 ward beds, isolation beds, critical care beds, and mechanical ventilators that are being used in a city or province at the time.GCQ: 60-69% One important consideration is the readiness of the city’s or province’s testing, isolation, and detection capabilities, what the task force calls"gatekeeping indicators."
