Tuguegarao City to be under 10-day ECQ starting August 12

The city government of Tuguegarao is set to implement a strict 10-day lockdown in their jurisdiction starting August 12 to address rising COVID-19 cases., the local government said the implementation of enhanced community quarantine was decided after the city reported an average daily attack rate of 31.8%, the highest in Cagayan Valley. The city information office also noted that nine deaths were recorded in a single day.

National authorities earlier placed the whole region under general community quarantine with heightened restrictions until August 15., the OCTA research group said that Tuguegarao is one of the areas outside of Metro Manila that should be closely monitored due to rising COVID-19 infections. OCTA Research fellow Guido David recommends placing the city, along with other concerned areas, under the strictest quarantine classification to slow down the transmission of the virus.

Under Executive Order no. 98 signed by Mayor Jefferson Soriano, residents aged below 18 and above 65 years old are urged to stay in their houses. Only essential travel – like accessing essential goods and services and going to workplaces authorized to operate – are allowed, it added. Public transportation is suspended during the period, but back riding is allowed. Riders should bear a barangay certification to prove that the driver and passenger are from the same residence.Mass gatherings are also prohibited, with religious gatherings to be held online only except for burial masses.

Talipapa, satellite markets, and restaurants are allowed to operate daily, but the latter are limited to take-out and delivery
