5. Crowded Roads and Heavy Traffic. If you decided to go out today, you are not alone. There are countless others who have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to be able to go out.

4. Lack of Available Public Transportation. Despite the government lifting the Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine, the public transport system isn’t still fully operational, especially in Metro Manila.

3. Continuous Shortage of Basic Commodities. You might be thinking that after all these months of waiting, you can now freely shop for your favorite bath soap out of grocery shelves or get as many packs of instant noodles as your cart can carry. We’re telling you this, not yet. It will take more than a few months for manufacturing companies to be fully operational and supply their products all over the country.

2. Continuous Threat of being Infected. The government, the medical experts and the health department might have already advised everyone that going out is not that dangerous anymore, but still be cautious. The threat of other people still carrying the virus and infecting you with it is still high so make sure to be aware of the surfaces you touch and the object you hold. It’s highly advisable if you can also find yourself a mask and a spare sanitizer bottle before going out.
