Davao City to shift to MECQ starting June 5
Davao City was placed under Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) from June 5 to 20, 2021, due to a surge in COVID-19 cases.
The city government of Davao requested the national Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) to impose MECQ to implement a circuit breaker mechanism.
The city's appeal was prompted by the rising number of COVID-19 cases and the near-full capacity of the Southern Philippines Medical Center.
As of Thursday, Davao City recorded 248 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the total to 17,775 cases with 2,214 active cases.
