Davao City suspends issuance of quarantine passes
Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte suspended the issuance of quarantine passes across the city's 182 barangays due to the chaos and confusion they created.
The mayor clarified that Davao City is not yet under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), rendering the passes unnecessary at this time.
Quarantine passes were intended to restrict resident movements and slow the spread of COVID-19, but varying guidelines and types of passes implemented by different barangays caused confusion.
The city government plans to create a unified order with new rules for quarantine passes, which will only be issued if the situation worsens and the city transitions to ECQ.
Duterte also warned government offices and private establishments against defying the city's implemented controls to fight the coronavirus.
