In issuing EO 27, Lacson said that with the second coronavirus case recorded in the town, there is a need to trace all persons who might have come into contact with the patient, “thus local transmission in the municipality now becomes imminent.” Several townsfolk have criticized what they thought to be the municipal government's overreaction to the town's second coronavirus case. One netizen said other local governments have responded to additional cases by imposing just barangay- or even sitio-level lockdowns.
Responding to questions from concerned residents, an administrator of the official LGU Concepcion Tarlac Facebook page said workers on their way home after 8 pm of May 20 should just explain to authorities manning checkpoints that they came from their workplaces and show their company identification cards or certificates of employment.
