Lanao del Sur governor is appealing to the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) to help regulate quarantine protocols for returning overseas Filipinos, due to lack of provincial facilities.
[Translation: All we want to do is regulate. Not everyone who wants to go home should be given a travel pass right away. We are not stopping our fellow Filipinos from coming home, but we have to regulate because the provincial government cannot accommodate the many who are travelling home to Lanao del Sur.]
Adiong said the province cannot afford to have local transmission, given their limited capacity and fewer quarantine facilities. He added that local transmission could hamper the rehabilitation efforts in Marawi City, another problem that needs to be addressed as the country reels from the adverse effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
