A city in the Philippines plays the 'The Purge' announcement every night to enforce a coronavirus curfew.

Officials in Cainta Rizal play the terrifying announcement from the horror film after police have scoured the streets at 8 p.m. each night.

Curfews introduced last week by President Rodrigo Duterte last from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. every day to keep people indoors and limit the chances of the COVID-19 coronavirus spreading.

Manila Mayor Isko Moreno said the Philippines curfew will last "as long as the country is under a state of public health emergency."

They also have a community lock down in many places which prevents people from travelling outside of the city they live or work in.
