MANILA (Reuters) – The Philippines capital region will remain under the second strictest coronavirus containment measures, a senior official said on Tuesday, despite a day earlier announcing a relaxation of curbs to spur business activity.Imposition of the more relaxed 'general community quarantine' in Metro Manila has been deferred, presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said, without giving a reason.The decision means a delay in the government's planned shift to smaller and localised lockdowns, which Roque said had been approved in principle by President Rodrigo Duterte.
