Cebu City to issue QR-coded quarantine passes
Cebu City will start issuing new QR-coded quarantine passes to residents following recommendations from the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID).
The new passes will have unique features to avoid over-issuance and ensure limited movement of people, with only one person per household allowed out for necessities.
These passes will restrict movement across the city's 80 barangays, with designated days for use based on QR codes.
Approximately 250,000 previously issued quarantine passes have been revoked.
Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu, appointed by President Duterte to oversee the city's COVID-19 response, along with IATF-EID deputy chief implementer Melquiades Feliciano, are monitoring compliance with the new protocols.
Cebu City has recorded 4,607 COVID-19 cases so far and was placed back under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) from June 16 to June 30.
