(CNN Philippines) Metro Manila – The Philippine National Police will enforce strict border controls along the boundaries of NCR Plus starting midnight of August 1.

Interior and Local Government Secretary Eduardo Año ordered police to activate all quarantine control points along the borders of Rizal, Laguna, Cavite, and Bulacan provinces.

Año said only those who are on the Authorized Persons Outside of Residence (APOR) list are allowed to pass.

Persons on the APOR list must present an IATF ID issued by regulatory agencies and a valid ID or related document issued by establishments allowed to operate under the current quarantine classification. Those who fail to present these requirements will be asked to return to their homes.

“The implementation of strict border controls in the NCR+ areas is critical to stopping the spread of the Delta variant,” Año said.

Año also reminded the PNP to allow the free movement of cargo and goods, especially vehicles delivering food.
