on Monday, Dumaguete Mayor Felipe Remollo, who tested positive for COVID on May 23, said that the province’s decision to relax travel restrictions in March could have contributed to the city's surge.

Degamo eventually brought back the swab test requirement for the rest of the province last April, citing rising COVID-19 cases in the province.Amid the continuing surge, the Dumaguete City Council passed a resolution on Wednesday, June 9, urging the City IATF to recommend reimposing a stricter quarantine status to the governor.

Dumaguete and the whole province of Negros Oriental have been under modified general community quarantine – the most relaxed classification – since July 2020., Degamo said he is not keen on placing the whole province under a total lockdown. He instead proposed a granular lockdown of specific areas in Dumaguete City for 10 days, the period he says is recommended by experts.
