DILG assures correct response in Cebu City's surge in COVID-19 cases
The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) has assured that its contact tracing teams are prepared to implement necessary measures in Cebu City following a surge in COVID-19 cases.
Cebu City was placed back under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) until June 30 due to the worsening COVID-19 situation, a decision made based on the recommendation of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF).
DILG Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya stated that the government is ready to provide assistance to residents, particularly those who may be displaced from their work.
The DILG will closely monitor the situation in Cebu City.
Areas under ECQ restrictions typically prohibit public transportation, close non-essential establishments, and disallow non-essential travel.
