Baguio extends ban on non-essential travelers to Sept. 26
Baguio City extended its ban on non-essential travelers until September 26 due to rising COVID-19 cases.
The city recorded a record-high of 411 new cases on September 18, attributed by Mayor Benjamin Magalong to the accumulation and delayed processing of test results.
Magalong noted that over 2,000 tests are now conducted daily as part of aggressive community testing efforts.
Close contacts of positive patients must undergo RT-PCR testing, and antigen testing is also being used for immediate quarantine measures.
