La Union towns shift quarantine levels amid COVID-19 surge

La Union's Agoo town shifted from modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) to general community quarantine (GCQ) until September 30 due to a stabilization in COVID-19 infection rates.

San Fernando City, La Union's capital, extended its GCQ status until October 7 because of an increase in active cases and clustering of infections.

Agoo recorded 252 active cases or 11.43% of the province's total, while San Fernando had 822 active cases as of September 22.

San Fernando placed five barangays under granular lockdown due to critical zones with high infection rates.
