Cebu City, nine other areas to shift to GCQ —Roque
Cebu City, Mandaue City, and Zamboanga City, along with Region VII (Central Visayas), will be placed under general community quarantine (GCQ) from June 1 to 15.
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque confirmed the shift to GCQ for Cebu and Mandaue Cities.
Cebu City Mayor Edgar Labella had appealed for a GCQ classification, stating the city was ready after completing strategic community testing.
Despite this, the Inter-agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) had initially recommended MECQ for Cebu City due to its status as a COVID-19 epicenter.
Other areas transitioning to GCQ from June 1-15 include Pangasinan, Region II, Region III, Region IV-A, NCR, Pateros, and Davao City.
