Ilalagay ang Davao City sa modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) o mas mahigpit na quarantine classifications simula bukas, June 5 hanggang 20, dahil sa biglaang pagtaas ng COVID-19 cases.
Ayon sa naunang anunsiyo ng City Government of Davao sa kanilang Facebook page, “The City Government of Davao has requested the IATF-RTF to declare a Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) from June 5 to 30, 2021 to allow a circuit breaker in the surge of patients inside hospitals.”
Base naman kay Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, hanggang June 20 lamang ipatutupad ang MECQ sa Davao City, samantalang ang General Santos City nama’y ilalagay sa general community quarantine (GCQ) o mas maluwag na quarantine classifications hanggang sa katapusan ng Hunyo.
Sa ngayon ay malapit nang maging full capacity ang Southern Philippines Medical Center na pinakamalaking ospital sa Davao, dahil sa biglaang pagdami ng isinusugod na COVID-19 patients.
Base pa sa huling datos ng Department of Health (DOH), ang Mindanao ay nakapagtala ng 11,391 active cases ng COVID-19.
“All public transportation shall be permitted to operate. We need to help our frontliners by making sure that we stay home except for work or business,” dagdag naman ng City Government of Davao sa kanilang Facebook post.
