Bacolod implements number coding for quarantine passes

Bacolod City implemented a number coding scheme for home quarantine passes (HQP) starting April 15 to control the number of people going out at any given time.

Mayor Evelio Leonardia signed Executive Order 30 on Monday, requiring certain essential businesses to ask customers to present their HQPs or valid IDs.

The city issued an estimated 150,000 HQPs for use during the enhanced community quarantine until April 30.

Residents with odd-numbered passes may go out from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while those with even numbers can do so on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
