I thought that I was dreaming this afternoon. As I woke up with my quick nap, I found these goods on the table. They are relief goods and ready to make local pancakes in the house. The barangay unit gave them while wearing their face masks. 
As of today, it was also reported that lockdown will be extended until the 15th of May.
Any good news happens in your life today?
Is your place still in lockdown?

I also didn't expect that they will give us something again today. I am hoping that they will release the grant under the Special Amelioration Program. Let us cross fingers about this matter. Perhaps the relief goods are on their way to your family's hometown sooner or later.

There are things opening up, but, I think those 65 and older are supposed to be lockdown but not sure anymore. Also still need to do social distancing and doing things to forehead to make sure not infected or temperature or symptoms. Sill wearing masks but not all are and still the same with some doing what should be done and others not and still nasty people.

Good that you received those relief goods. Our place has lockdown till 3rd of May and further decision will depend on the situation. But the situation is getting better and so we hope that some ease will be provided. They have already lifted some restrictions from 24th April.

@arunima25 We are still lockdown until the 15th of May. However, some provinces are not lockdown now. It seems the situation is getting better now.

Lately, the national government informed us that the lockdown will be extended until the 15th of May. I also noticed that the COVID-19 cases were slowing down lately. I still hope for the cure so that we are not in fear to be inflicted by it.

@Shavkat Yes a cure would be better.
We have lockdown till 3 May. Conditions are in control here but still the lockdown maybe extended. It's too early to open things and let infection grow out of control.

Japan is really speaking firmly to people to not travel during the Golden Week holiday, which starts tomorrow. Tourist places have shut their parking lots to encourage people to not go out. They are having what they call a "stay-home week" campaign. Every day they have videos to watch on YouTube and suggestions for things to do at home. I hope it works.

Good to hear that. We have lockdown here but relief is coming too late. Wished it earlier. Also situation is not so good though . We cannot go out for a single day. Only god knows when things will be normal again.

I also received a pack of goods today. That was an addition to the earlier released pack of rice. I hope our LGU here would imposed a modified one since they are conducting an evaluation whether to stick to the ECQ or will have a modified one.

@LowRiderX Lately, I heard from the local news that some provinces in my country can work and open the malls. It seems the situation is being controlled in some way. It is not good if people cannot go out to buy food. Unless if the local government will do the reinforcement.

@Shavkat That's the story, I've read about it in several places, they haven't given the exact date here yet, just they'll see, it depends and so on... and we are also under curfew every day, weekends are the worst, then there is no way out and nothing works

No good news, no relief and don't think lockdown will be lifted and will be extended.
