Passi City in Iloilo placed under ECQ
Passi City in Iloilo province has reverted to an enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) due to a sudden surge in COVID-19 cases, with the measure in effect until February 11.
Mayor Stephen A. Palmares announced the stricter quarantine measure following a meeting with the City Task Force on Coronavirus Disease 2019.
The city recorded 166 new confirmed COVID-19 cases since Wednesday, with most cases linked to market vendors and their close contacts.
Mayor Palmares stated that approximately 80% of the city's barangays have been affected by COVID-19.
The city previously operated under a modified general community quarantine before the ECQ implementation.
During the ECQ, a curfew is imposed from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m., and residents need a quarantine pass to leave their homes, while non-residents are prohibited from entering.
Businesses providing basic services, including health-related establishments, are permitted to remain open.
