Residents decry discrimination amid QC's special concern lockdown

Residents in Quezon City areas placed under special concern lockdown due to increased COVID-19 cases after the holiday season have reported experiencing discrimination from neighbors.

The lockdown affects four specific areas: No. 62 Agno Extension in Barangay Tatalon, No. 1 Salary Street in Barangay Sangandaan, No. 54 Interior Magsalin Street in Barangay Apolonio Samson, and La Felonila Street in Barangay Damayang Lagi.

Mayor Joy Belmonte stated that the surge in cases was expected due to holiday gatherings and emphasized that these granular lockdowns have been effective in controlling disease spread previously.
