On 13 May 2020, authorities in the Chinese city of Jilin implemented restrictions on movement and gatherings until further notice in response to an emerging cluster of COVID-19 cases. Rail and long-distance bus services are suspended, public gatherings are banned and venues, such as movie theaters and cafes, have been ordered to close. Outdoor markets will be closed from 14 May. Residents attempting to leave Jilin must test negative for COVID-19 within 48 hours of travel.
Meanwhile, Philippine Airlines officials on 13 May announced that domestic flights at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (RPLL/MNL), Mactan-Cebu International Airport (RPVM/CEB) and Clark International Airport (RPLC/CRK) will remain suspended until at least 31 May due to the government’s ongoing “enhanced community quarantine” (ECQ) in those areas. However, airline officials are considering operating domestic and international flights from Davao’s Francisco Bangoy International Airport (RPMD/DVO) following Davao’s ECQ expiration on 15 May.
