Duterte Places Cebu City Under ECQ

DUTERTE: "Ang enhanced community quarantine, Cebu City. It's only you.”

Duterte extends ECQ in Cebu City until July 15 in his address to the nation on the updates of the quarantine status in the Philippines on June 30, 2020, Tuesday.

President Rodrigo Duterte has approved the extension of enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) placed over Cebu City until July 15 during his address on Tuesday.

"This is the highest [level of quarantine] because there are already so many people infected [there]. As a matter of fact, we know that the hospitals and everything there are having a hard time coping up," Duterte said, speaking partly in Filipino, in a televised address on Tuesday.

"Ang enhanced community quarantine, Cebu City. It's only you," he added.

Cebu City has so far recorded about 5,494 COVID-19 cases with 169 deaths and 2,723 recoveries, as per the Department of Health Regional Office 7's latest tally.

Last week, the President ordered Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu to oversee government efforts to fight COVID-19 in Cebu City to help limit and contain the spread of the CoronaVirus.

Duterte also earlier attributed the spike of COVID-19 cases in the city to its "complacency."

Nationwide, 37,514 COVID-19 cases have been recorded to date, with 1,266 deaths and 10,233 recoveries.
