Davao City will still implement a barangay Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) or house, street, purok, and compound lockdowns during the Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ) to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
“This is to control the transmission especially in identified very high risk and high-risk areas,” Mayor Inday Sara Duterte said in a live interview over the Davao City Disaster Radio on Wednesday.If lockdowns and ECQ happen in specific areas, Mayor Sara said, offices and establishment owners must be considerate to their employees that will be affected by these control measures.
“There will be employees nga dili gyud makasulod not because naa silay sakit but because nasulod sila sa isa ka lockdown. So maghangyo ta mga offices and establishment employers to take into consideration kaning mga ing-ani nga control measures (There will be employees that cannot report to work not because they are sick but because they were locked down. So we are appealing to offices and establishment employers to take into consideration these control measures),” she said.
Lockdowns are implemented in an area with an alarming number of positive Covid-19 cases. When an area is in lockdown, residents are required to 14-day home quarantine. Affected residents will be tested on the 14th day and those who are positive will be transferred to an isolation facility. The individuals who are locked down are those that have exposure to people positive of Covid-19 or have been included in the contact tracing. The city government provides ration and psychosocial support for residents under lockdown. CIO
