Ilocos Norte lifts temporary suspension on entry of LSIs
Ilocos Norte has lifted its temporary suspension on the entry of Locally Stranded Individuals (LSIs), allowing returning residents to come home.
LSIs are advised to coordinate with their respective barangay, municipal, and provincial governments for the facilitation of their return.
The suspension, initially set for September 13-18, was extended to September 19 due to a surge in COVID-19 cases.
As of Sunday, September 20, Ilocos Norte has a total of 104 COVID-19 cases, with 41 active cases, 62 recoveries, and one fatality.
The town of Sarrat reported 26 recoveries from COVID-19 on Saturday and currently has five active cases in isolation.
