As COVID-19 cases decrease, Iloilo City wants shift to GCQ next week

MANILA - The city government of Iloilo on Saturday said it would ask the Inter-Agency Task Force to be put under a more relaxed quarantine, following days of reduced COVID-19 cases.

This came a day after Malacañang announced that Iloilo City will be under a modified enhanced community quarantine until Oct. 9. “I think it has resulted well. The cases are now under control and we have done mass testing. We have done almost a total of 30,000 tests already and I think we are confident enough to request for a GCQ for the whole city, and we will start receiving already passengers coming from Manila and Cebu,” he said.

Good for Iloilo.
