Philippines Eases Lockdown Amid The Coronavirus Pandemic

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - MAY 22: Chinese travelers wearing protective suits have their temperatures checked upon arriving at Ninoy Aquino International Airport after a limited number of flights have resumed following relaxed lockdown measures on May 22, 2020 in Manila, Philippines. The Philippine government began easing quarantine measures in many areas of the country, but has extended the lockdowns in Manila and a few other cities until May 31. Manila's lockdown, one of the worlds strictest, will extend to 80 days longer than the 76-day lockdown of Wuhan, the Chinese city that was the early epicenter of COVID-19. The Philippines' Department of Health has so far reported 13,597 cases of the coronavirus in the country, with at least 857 recorded fatalities. (Photo by Ezra Acayan/Getty Images)
