In March 16, a large island in the Philippines named Luzon with a population larger than 57 million, went under rigorous lockdown.
Along with schools closing, people working from home, and restricted movements, soldiers are covering people and the streets in disinfectant using water cannons, while open coffins are left on the roads as a warning to people to stay inside.
Despite the lockdown, on March 29 the Philippines reported a daily increase of 343 new coronavirus cases, its highest one day increase yet. The total number of infections was at 1,418 and 71 people had died.
