[아시아뉴스통신=페이 기자] The city government will enforce the home quarantine pass (HQP) system and set up border check-up points anew from September 3 to 15 as Bacolod shifts to a month-long general community quarantine (GCQ) starting Tuesday.
Mayor Evelio Leonardia placed the city under GCQ from September 1 to 30 as provided in Executive Order (EO) 57, following the approval of the National Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) on Monday night.
Leonardia issued EO 58 on Tuesday afternoon to establish the HQP system and check-up points to regulate the movement of people within the city and the entry/exit of out-of-towners.
“(This is established) as a means of stemming the local spread of COVID-19 infections,” he said, citing the emergency authority granted to him under City Ordinance 937, dated August 25, as the basis for his directive.
As of early Monday, Bacolod had 1,285 confirmed COVID-19 cases, with 794 active cases, 466 recoveries, and 25 deaths.
