Mayor Emi confident new alert system will help lower COVID-19 cases
Pasay City Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano expressed confidence that the new alert system on quarantine classifications could help avert the rising COVID-19 cases in Metro Manila.
The city government is well-prepared for the new system, which places Metro Manila under Alert Level 4 starting September 16, 2021, as they have been imposing granular lockdowns, referred to as localized lockdowns, prior to its implementation.
To manage cases, Pasay City is placing houses with two or more COVID-19 cases under lockdown, and if a house is in a compound, the entire compound will be locked down.
The Mayor urged Pasay residents to cooperate with the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) and the Department of Health (DOH) by complying with the new guidelines.
