Two specific locations within Barangay E. Rodriguez in Quezon City have been placed under special concern lockdown (SCL) due to a significant increase in COVID-19 cases.
The number of active cases in these two areas, 138 Ermin Garcia St. and 52 Imperial St., rose from two to 15 after the general community quarantine was implemented.
Rapid diagnostic testing will be conducted on residents of the affected areas on Monday, with confirmatory tests to follow.
Authorities are also considering a special concern lockdown for Cadena de Amor St. in Barangay Central after three positive cases were detected in separate households.
Other areas currently under SCL include Sitio Militar in Barangay Bahay Toro, Calle 29 in Barangay Libis, and Kaingin Bukid in Barangay Apolonio Samson.
The local government has lifted lockdowns in several other areas that no longer have new COVID-19 cases, including parts of Barangay Batasan Hills, Barangay Culiat, Barangay Sauyo, Barangay Tatalon, and Barangay Baesa.
