Residents in Cebu City are now encouraged to register and keep digital copies of their enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) passes.
Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella announced on Monday, April 6, 2020, that electronic ECQ passes will be honored for those who are heading for essential trips.
Labella also clarified that the printed and color-coded passes the city government had issued would still be acceptable. In his statement, Dizon, a member of the opposition Bando Osmeña-Pundok Kauswagan , said quarantine passes had only created further confusion and chaos, and that cardboards could be a potential medium for the coronavirus disease 2019 to spread.Labella also said he had directed the city’s police patrolling the barangays and the city’s barangays to honor these digital passes — provided that the bearers would also present one valid identification card .
Labella, however, stressed that having ECQ passes, both print and electronic ones, should only be used for urgent itineraries such as shopping for basic goods, and medical checkups.
