21 Cebu City barangays face granular lockdown
Twenty-one villages in Cebu City are facing granular lockdown due to a high number of active COVID-19 cases.
This measure allows for focused interventions in specific sitios, puroks, or business establishments.
Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu confirmed that Cebu City has been downgraded from enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) to modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ), but granular lockdowns will still be implemented in barangays with the most cases.
The specific barangays include Lahug with 38 active cases, Guadalupe with 29, and Capitol Site and Talamban with 23 each, among others.
The lockdown will be enforced by the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines in coordination with local barangay officials, pending an executive order from Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella and confirmation from the regional Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF).
