Eight Cebuano congressmen are pushing to transfer the COVID-19 response management from the Inter-Agency Task Force to local government units.
Eight Cebuano congressmen want local government units to manage the COVID-19 response in the province instead of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases.
The signatories of the manifesto include all congressmen in Cebu province, which are First District Rep. Eduardo Gullas, 2nd District Rep. Wilfredo Caminero, 3rd District Rep. Pablo John Garcia, 4th District Rep. Janice Salimbangon, 5th District Rep. Duke Frasco, 6th District Rep. Emarie Ouano-Dizon, and 7th District Rep. Peter John Calderon.
The Swab-Upon-Arrival Policy provincial ordinance also allows Filipino overseas workers to return to their homes after the release of their negative RT-PCR test results, where they can continue the remainder of their quarantine under the supervision of barangay health workers. Because of such conflict and the limited number of hotel rooms in Cebu, the Palace decided to divert all incoming international flights bound for Mactan-Cebu International Airport to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila.
