CEBU CITY, Philippines — Starting March 11, 2020, travelers arriving in Cebu from Iran and Italy will already be included in the 14-day mandatory quarantine imposed by the provincial government amid

Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, in a press conference on Monday, March 9, 2020, said she decided to include the two countries in the coverage of the quarantine measures because of the high mortality rate among the confirmed cases there.

Of the confirmed cases, Italy’s death toll due to COVID-19 has already reached 366 while 194 individuals died of the viral disease in Iran. Although Garcia is set to issue an executive order officially identifying Italy and Iran as part of the mandatory quarantine, she said the EO shall take effect on March 11 yet, or on Wednesday, in order to give airlines ample time to disseminate the information to their passengers.
