Cimatu orders 12 Cebu City barangays under total lockdown
Twelve barangays in Cebu City have been placed under a total lockdown due to being identified as COVID-19 hotspots.
Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu, who is overseeing the city's coronavirus response, announced the lockdown.
The affected barangays are Sambag Dos, Kamputhaw, Sambag Uno, Basak San Nicolas, Mabolo, Guadalupe, Lahug, Duljo, Tinago, Tisa, Ermita, and Tejero.
This measure was implemented because these areas recorded the highest number of coronavirus infections in the city.
Detailed infection numbers per barangay have not been released by the Cebu City Health Department to avoid stigmatizing residents.
