Parts of Parañaque to be placed under 'strict' community quarantine
Parañaque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez ordered the immediate isolation of confirmed COVID-19 patients as the city's case count reached 635.
The City Health Office is directed to confine positive COVID-19 cases in designated isolation facilities.
Three barangays—San Dionisio, San Antonio, and Baclaran—are identified as areas of immediate concern due to rising cases.
Parts of these barangays will be placed under strict community quarantine (SCQ) for three days.
Localized lockdowns on specific streets or sitios might be implemented instead of locking down entire barangays.
Following isolation, the city government will conduct rapid testing on 3,000 individuals per concerned barangay and perform contact tracing.
