MANILA, Philippines — The quarantine control checkpoints of the Philippine National Police are deactivated in areas under Alert Level 1 as a result of the lifting of restrictions on intra-zonal and inter-zonal travel, the PNP said Monday.

This comes ahead of the implementation of Alert Level 1 in Metro Manila and 38 other areas around the country from March 1 to March 15. 

In a statement sent to reporters, the PNP said that its checkpoints co-located with these Quarantine Control Points will still remain operational for law enforcement and anti-criminality operations; and implementation of the election gun ban and employment of unauthorized security forces imposed by the Commission on Elections.
