DILG urges LGUs to reinforce COVID-19 measures

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) urged LGUs on Friday to be vigilant and reinforce measures against COVID-19 due to projected increases in cases.

Abalos stressed that LGUs must not relax their measures and stand guard on cases in their areas to mitigate a potential surge.
