The ECQ was extended to include Purok 4, with all three areas—Purok 4, 5, and 6—under lockdown until July 1.
As of June 16, Taguig City recorded 585 confirmed COVID-19 cases, with Lower Bicutan having 53 cases, the second-highest in the city.
Purok 4 has seven COVID-19 cases, Purok 5 has eight, and Purok 6 has ten.
