CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia has assured that the province is willing to help Cebu City "in any way" amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis but

Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia and Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella.

In a press conference this Wednesday evening, June 24, 2020, which was attended by Secretary Roy Cimatu, the appointed overseer of Cebu City’s COVID-19 response implementation, and Mayor Edgardo Labella, Garcia assured that the province will extend any help as needed, despite that it will close its borders to Cebu City.

The governor said closing the borders is necessary for now in order to prevent the virus from further spreading throughout the towns because if this happens, it would mean a bigger problem. Garcia said that since the province eased its border control with Cebu City last June 3, when both local government units were under a general community quarantine, the cases in the province have gone to about thrice than it was before the easing of the restrictions.
