Davao City gov’t lifts lockdown on brgy with 18,000 residents
The city government of Davao has lifted the hard lockdown on Barangay 23-C, which has an estimated population of 18,000 residents, effective July 20.
However, some puroks and households within Barangay 23-C will remain under hard lockdown following RT-PCR test results that indicated these were the areas with the most positive cases.
The duration of these targeted lockdowns remains unclear.
Security and health protocols will continue to be strictly observed in areas under continued lockdown, with basic necessities provided to affected residents.
The neighboring Barangay 22-C is being monitored due to an increase in COVID-19 cases.
Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte noted that other barangays experiencing a massive spread of the virus will also be subjected to similar hard lockdowns.
