84 stranded Negrenses airlifted from Luzon
Eighty-four Negrenses, who were stranded in Luzon due to the enhanced community quarantine, have been flown back to Negros Occidental.
The provincial government facilitated their travel after Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson appealed to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines for the return of residents stranded at Clark International Airport.
They arrived at Bacolod-Silay Airport via a special Cebu Pacific flight from Clark.
The passengers will undergo a mandatory 14-day quarantine as persons under monitoring (PUMs) at the Mambukal Resort in Murcia town, which has temporarily suspended its operations.
Health workers and policemen will enforce quarantine measures, and the PUMs will not be allowed to go out or accept visitors.
About 40 passengers stranded in the province also boarded the return flight.
