The concert that was attended by thousands of people here on Saturday night, March 26, drew mixed reactions from authorities.

CEBU CITY —

Dr. Mary Jean Loreche, chief pathologist of the Department of Health-Central Visayas, described the “Arat na Cebu” concert held at the Cebu City Sports Center as worrisome as it may cause Covid-19 infections to rise. According to the police’s estimate, at least 100,000 concert-goers, mostly young adults, packed the CCSC’s grandstand and football field.“We appeal to our politicians if possible, to have their organizers ensure that the venue is open space or if enclosed, ventilation and air changes is very good for air circulation, as well as promoting the close adherence to our minimum public health measures,” said Loreche.

For retired Gen. Mel Feleciano, Inter-Agency Tasks Force Chief Implementer, said the concert was a “glimpse of new normal.”
