CEBU CITY—Heavy traffic marked the first day of the re-implementation of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) here.
After easing up some quarantine protocols in the previous weeks after the city was downgraded to general community quarantine last June 1, police once again enforced stricter inspections in border control points that caused long lines of vehicles around the city.
“If we will not implement stricter protocols, we will have bigger problems. It is better to have these efforts. We need to be patient with the strict implementation and maybe we will arrest the increasing number of cases,” said Ferro. Ferro said he understood the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases decision in ordering that the city reverts back to ECQ.
