Find out the location of checkpoints in Metro Manila using this interactive map

In a bid to curb the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the country, the Philippine government decided to impose a community quarantine over Metro Manila from March 15 to April 14.

Checkpoints have been established to monitor the movement of people in and out of the metropolis, so a University of the Philippines Diliman professor has come up with an interactive map to help motorists.

Project NOAH Executive Director Mahar Lagmay shared on Twitter the map created by Professor Noriel Christopher Tiglao of the UP National College of Public Administration.

Tiglao, a geographic information system expert, created a Metro Manila quarantine checkpoints map for easy access to people who want to see the where the checkpoints are located.
