Koronadal to impose general community quarantine starting Mar 23

Koronadal City will impose a general community quarantine starting March 23 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Despite no confirmed cases in Koronadal, Mayor Eliordo Ogena said the move is proactive due to limited testing kits.

The quarantine does not involve closing city borders but restricts entry to residents and essential workers with identification requirements.

Cotabato City has been under lockdown since March 17, initially placed on community quarantine by Mayor Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi.

Koronadal's measures include prohibiting non-essential travel, mass gatherings, and requiring social distancing.
