Davao City extends ECQ up to May 15
The Davao City government will extend the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) until May 15, as per the recommendation of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, which identified the city as a high-risk area.
Mayor Sara Duterte confirmed that the city will sustain the current ECQ guidelines, including the suspension of mass transportation and the mandatory use of the food and medicine pass.
Initially, the city government was considering a modified community quarantine (MCQ) starting April 27, which would have allowed some public transport and offices to partially reopen.
Davao City has recorded 33 positive COVID-19 cases, 49 recoveries, and 18 deaths as of April 23.
Other areas in Mindanao, including Davao del Norte, are also under ECQ, while Davao de Oro is subject to re-evaluation.
Areas classified as low to moderate risk will transition to a General Community Quarantine (GCQ) starting May 1, with further relaxation possible in low-risk areas if conditions improve.
