178,000 quarantine passes distributed to Cebu City households
Cebu City started distributing new, coded quarantine passes to 178,000 households on Friday, June 26, after the previous batch of 250,000 passes was suspended.
The new passes are coded to restrict movement, with odd-numbered passes allowed out on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and even-numbered passes on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
No one is allowed to go out on Sundays under the new scheme.
This measure was implemented after a joint task force observed too many people were out simultaneously with the old, uncoded passes.
All previously issued car passes have also been suspended, with the new quarantine passes now serving for both foot and vehicle passage.
