Councilor Joel Garganera, Emergency Operations Center czar, said that no passenger would be allowed to enter the ports without a ticket.This is to ensure social distancing protocol in the ports and avoid the expected flocking of LSIs to go home. The transient LSIs are encouraged to buy their tickets ahead of time so they will no longer buy the tickets in Cebu City, which by the time of their arrival, the tickets could already be sold out.
To avoid stranded LSIs, Garganera urged the shipping lines to allow online booking and payment of tickets so the LSIs would no longer need to go to the ports’ ticketing offices to buy these.The city is expected to release 18,000 LSIs starting tomorrow, August 1, 2020, upon the transition of the city to a general community quarantine.
