Quezon City is implementing an extreme enhanced community quarantine in at least 29 "hot zones" and limiting movement in surrounding "warm zones" to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Residents in "hot zones" will be confined to their homes, with essential supplies delivered by authorized personnel.
Barangays Kalusugan and Tandang Sora have been designated as "hot zones" due to confirmed COVID-19 cases.
The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) has deployed personnel to set up police checkpoints and conduct thermal scanning in specific streets within Barangay Kalusugan.
Checkpoints will also be installed in Barangay Tandang Sora, manned by Talipapa Police Station-3 personnel.
These seven areas are identified as "warm zones," within a 500-meter radius where at least one COVID-19 patient lives.
QCPD Director Brig. Gen. Ronnie Montejo stated that these measures are for the protection of everyone against COVID-19 and asked for cooperation.
