cases are concentrated, according to Sec. Eduardo Año of the Department of the Interior and Local Government .“Localized lockdown is like hitting COVID-19 at its source which has been proven to be effective especially in the 112 areas where it is currently being implemented. It really works since the hot zones areas are secluded from the rest of the community, hence, stopping the transmission to other communities,” said.
He said that of the 112 areas under localized lockdown as of June 21, 67 were in the Cordillera Autonomous Region ; 19 in Cebu City; 18 in National Capital Region; one each in Cavite, Quezon, and Leyte provinces; and five in Cagayan de Oro City. As of June 26, CAR had recorded a total of 109 people confirmed COVID-19 cases, 62 of them active and 42 had recovered.Of the 18 locked down areas in Metro Manila, four are in Quezon City; nine in Parañaque City; two in Caloocan City; and one each in Muntinlupa City, Navotas City, and Malabon City.According to Malaya, community quarantines, or lockdowns, are “non-pharmaceutical interventions” which are public health measures not related to medicines or vaccines.
In areas under localized lockdown, the entry of exit shall be “strictly prohibited” except for emergency instances such as medical treatments, according to the NTF memo.
