Capiz, Aklan provinces close borders anew
The provinces of Capiz and Aklan have re-imposed travel restrictions to control the spread of COVID-19, following similar measures by Iloilo province.
Governors Esteban Evan Contreras II of Capiz and Florencio Miraflores of Aklan issued executive orders to re-impose inbound travel restrictions due to rising local transmissions in neighboring provinces.
The restrictions aim to protect residents from the danger posed by increasing COVID-19 cases in nearby areas.
This decision means three of the four provinces on Panay Island, namely Capiz, Aklan, and Iloilo, are now restricting inbound travel for non-essential individuals.
Antique province is currently the only province on Panay Island that remains open to inbound travel.
Exemptions to the travel restrictions in Capiz, Aklan, and Iloilo include government workers, frontline workers, medical emergency transportation, and the transport of essential goods.
