PNP: NCR areas under granular lockdown down to 74
The number of areas under granular lockdown in the National Capital Region (NCR) has decreased to 74 as of Wednesday, according to data from the Philippine National Police (PNP).
These areas are located across 53 barangays and include 44 houses, 21 residential buildings, four streets, four subdivisions or villages, and one purok.
Local government units (LGUs) have the authority to impose or lift these granular lockdowns.
The PNP has deployed 288 personnel and 236 force multipliers to ensure security and adherence to health standards in the affected areas.
Parañaque Mayor Edwin Olivarez stated that a single COVID-19 case can warrant a lockdown for a house or condominium floor, while two cases necessitate a street lockdown.
Granular lockdowns are micro-level quarantines implemented in 'critical zones' identified by LGUs due to a high number of COVID-19 infections.
