Makati City ready for NCR granular lockdown
The Makati City government is prepared to implement granular lockdowns in the National Capital Region starting September 8.
Mayor Abby Binay assured residents that those affected by localized lockdowns will receive food packs, COVID-19 home care kits, and swab tests.
Makati was the first local government unit to implement granular lockdowns in March.
The city previously implemented a 14-day lockdown in Barangay Pio del Pilar due to a surge in cases.
During lockdowns, the city conducts house-to-house swab tests and lifts restrictions in areas with negative results.
Essential services, including free delivery of medicines, will be provided to affected residents.
