Quezon City implements 'hot' and 'warm' zones for COVID-19 hotspots

Quezon City has implemented heightened community quarantine measures in residential areas with confirmed COVID-19 cases.

The city government has designated over 20 residences as 'hot zones' where residents are not allowed to leave, and a 500-meter radius around these hot zones is considered a 'warm zone' with strict checkpoints.

On Wednesday, Quezon City placed two barangays—Tandang Sora and Kalusugan—under heightened quarantine starting Thursday at 6 a.m., after confirming three cases in each barangay.

Hot zones within these barangays will observe an extreme enhanced quarantine with 24/7 surveillance.
