This is expected because 90 percent of the positive cases recorded in Cebu are asymptomatic cases, which have more tendencies to spread the virus. The IATF-EID has recommended placing Cebu City under Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine because of its volume of cases. “To shift to General Community Quarantine would be easier on the part of the government. However, our moral obligation entails that we have to make the difficult decisions to ascertain that majority of our constituents remain healthy and COVID-19 free,” said the three mayors.
