CEBU CITY, Philippines -- Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella said he wants the city to remain under the General Community Quarantine (GCQ) even after June 15, 2020, as new cases of the Coronavirus
CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella said he wants the city to remain under the General Community Quarantine even after June 15, 2020, as new cases of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 are still emerging in the city.
He said being under MGCQ would entail entertainment centers to open, senior citizens and minors will be able to go out on the streets anytime, and there will be less restriction in the movement of the public. “I think the MGCQ is very lax, it’s too lenient. For me, I want us to remain under GCQ after June 15. But of course, that is subject to the assessment of the IATF ,” he said.
Labella said the city will have to appeal this because of the recoveries in the city, which has exceeded 60 percent of the total cases, which is currently 2,883.
