Davao City to relax coronavirus lockdown measures on April 26
Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte announced that a modified community quarantine will be implemented once the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) concludes on April 26.
The city government aims to transition from the strict ECQ to a less restrictive modified community quarantine to allow some economic activities to resume.
Under the modified quarantine, public transport like jeepneys will be allowed to operate, and some offices can reopen with skeleton staff and reduced working hours.
Stricter guidelines will still be enforced to prevent the further spread of COVID-19, including the continued prohibition of mass gatherings and the mandatory use of face masks.
Essential measures like the food and medicine pass and district clustering will remain in effect during this new phase.
