PRO7 appeals for Cebuanos' patience as city remains under MECQ until June 15
Cebu City will remain under Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) until June 15, prompting Police Regional Office Central Visayas (PRO 7) chief Police Brig. Gen. Albert Ignatius Ferro to appeal for the public's patience.
Ferro emphasized the need for a gradual transition from stricter quarantine levels to avoid a potential second wave of COVID-19 infections, aligning with the national strategy to prevent high mortality rates.
Under the MECQ status, strict quarantine protocols will persist, including the suspension of public transportation and the limited operation of select establishments.
While some gatherings will be permitted, they will have restrictions on attendance.
Ferro urged residents not to squander the progress made during the previous Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) period, warning that hasty decisions could lead to more significant problems.
As of May 27, Cebu City recorded 2,013 confirmed COVID-19 cases, with 394 recoveries and 25 deaths.
