Malacañang said on Tuesday that there’s no need to put Visayas and Mindanao under lockdown for now.
According to presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo, some provincial and town executives from other parts of the country have also rolled out similar measures in their respective jurisdictions.
Cebu City, Davao City, and the provinces of Albay, Bulacan, Pangasinan, Misamis Oriental, Tarlac, Laguna among others have already placed their respective jurisdictions under quarantine which prevented the entry and eventual spread of the infectious respiratory illness.
“Sa madaling sabi ‘yung Visayas at sa Mindanao depende po sa sitwasyon. Sa ngayon sa tingin natin ay hindi kailangan,” Panelo said in a virtual press briefing.
President Rodrigo Duterte earlier placed the entire island of Luzon under a month-long lockdown he extended the lockdown until April 30.
