One year after the Philippine capital of Metro Manila first went into a month-long lockdown due to COVID-19 and despite the recent arrival of vaccine shipments, selected areas in small communities have reverted to lockdown status to prevent the further spread of the coronavirus. Security checkpoints on the borders of the capital and neighboring provinces continue to operate in order to deter unwarranted travel amid the pandemic. (Photo by Rolex Dela Pena/EPA/EFE)
