QC intensifies lockdown, places 23 areas under SCL due to rising COVID-19 cases

Quezon City has intensified its lockdown measures, placing 23 areas under special concern lockdown (SCL) due to a rise in COVID-19 cases.

New areas placed under lockdown include Robina Street in Barangay Bungad, which has recorded six COVID-19 cases.

Other recently added SCL zones encompass several compounds and specific street addresses across various barangays.

These lockdown implementations are part of the local government's strategy to curb the spread of the virus within the city.

Authorities are strictly implementing the lockdowns, with barangay and police officers manning entry and exit points.

Residents in locked-down areas are not allowed to leave their homes and will undergo RT-PCR testing.
