The Interagency task force (IATF) will help the locally stranded individuals (LSIs) in Cebu City for the duration of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ).
Secretary Eduardo Año of the Department of Interior and Local Government , who is currently in Cebu City to assess the COVID-19 situation here, said that they cannot allow the LSIs to leave the city just yet.
“The reason why we temporarily suspended the movement of LSIs in Cebu City kasi hindi rin sila tatangapin ng mga LGUs na pupuntahan nila. They will be placed under quarantine. So at least dito, wala namang inconvenience. At least dito, nakaquarantine na sila,” said Año. For the long-term solution, the DILG is now working on returning the LSIs in bulk, similar to their Project Balik Probinsya.
