It’s been a year since Community Quarantine was implemented. A quarantine which was slated to last for only a month has lasted indefinitely. Students didn’t get to enjoy the last few weeks of the school year. A lot of malls and establishments closed shop for a couple of months. Until now, some of them remain closed.
