Davao City's Best Practices in Combating COVID-19

Davao City showcases best practices vs. Covid-19.

DAVAO CITY – Officials have credited this city's 'best practices' on coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) as it aims to strike a balance between containing the number of infections while providing an elbow room to prevent the local economy from going into a tailspin.

These practices, officials said, are consistently observed even from the start of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) on April 4 to May 15, the General Community Quarantine (GCQ) from May 16 until June 30, to a more relaxed Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ) on July 1 to July 15.

On top of the list is the local government's emphasis on non-pharmaceutical interventions such as the wearing of face mask, safe physical distancing, proper handwashing, and staying at home.

Leading the charge is no less than Mayor Sara Z. Duterte, who constantly reminds Davao City residents to follow health protocols through her #Maskahan campaign.
