CDNTopStories: The mayor said any extension has to be carefully studied because the ECQ has proven to have detrimental economic consequences.
Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella
In a phone interview with CDN Digital, Labella said that there is still a need to review the Coronavirus Disease 2019 situation in the city before declaring a possible extension. The ECQ in Cebu City will end on April 28, 2020, despite the city recording 23 COVID-19 cases and 5 deaths of the disease.
Yet he said it has also been proven to be effective in controlling the number of cases in the city. In just two weeks, Cebu City cleared more than 700 persons under monitoring and 6 of the positive cases successfully recovered.
