JUST IN. President Rodrigo Duterte downgraded Cebu City to general community quarantine (GCQ) on Friday, July 31. The new classification takes effect on Saturday, August 1.
Under GCQ, operation is allowed for agriculture, fisheries, and forestry sectors, food manufacturing and all supply chains, including ink, packaging and raw materials, supermarkets, hospitals, logistics, water, energy, internet, telecommunications, and media.
Cebu City had been under GCQ before – between June 1 and 15. During this period, hospitals began filling up and cases in Cebu City saw a sharp spike in cases numbering in hundreds daily. This means the spread of the virus has slowed down to an average of one patient infecting one other person, from a previous high of one person infecting two others.
