NCR areas under granular lockdown rise to 36 —PNP
As of Monday, there were 36 areas in the National Capital Region (NCR) under granular lockdown, according to the Philippine National Police (PNP).
These lockdowns were imposed on 34 barangays, encompassing 28 houses, four subdivisions or villages, two residential buildings, one street, and one purok.
Local government units (LGUs) have the authority to implement and lift these granular lockdowns.
The PNP deployed 125 personnel and 104 force multipliers to ensure security and compliance with health protocols in the affected areas.
According to Metro Manila Council (MMC) head and Parañaque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez, a single COVID-19 case can lead to a house or condominium floor lockdown, while two cases may result in an entire street being locked down.
Granular lockdowns are a micro-level quarantine strategy applied to 'critical zones' identified by LGUs due to a high number of coronavirus infections.
