DAVAO CITY — Mayor Sara Duterte said Davao City may revert to general community quarantine (GCQ) from modified general community quarantine (MGCQ) starting July 16, subject to appeal by the local government, after it was observed that transmission of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) transmission has hastened under more lenient quarantine measures.
— Mayor Sara Duterte said Davao City may revert to general community quarantine from modified general community quarantine starting July 16, subject to appeal by the local government, after it was observed that transmission of the coronavirus disease transmission has hastened under more lenient quarantine measures.
As of July 12, Department of Health-Davao recorded 15 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the total to 756 with 35 deaths and 456 recoveries. Of the total cases, 562 are in Davao City, 72 in Davao del Norte, 29 in Davao del Sur, 42 in Davao de Oro, 47 in Davao Oriental, and four in Davao Occidental. “Because the government cannot look after you 24 hours, you should have that ‘stay at home’ mentality because we have a quarantine, and what we are trying to do is to reduce the number of positives. We need to reduce the number of positive cases so that we will not overwhelm our hospitals,” she added.
The entire city was placed under ECQ from April 4 to May 15, GCQ from May 16 until June 30, and MGCQ last July 1.
