Davao City under Community Quarantine

Date:

Davao Mayor Inday Sarah Duterte-Carpio placed Davao City under community quarantine to combat the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19).

This initiative is an aggressive and proactive measure to the impending spread of Covid-19 in the City.

“We deemed it necessary to declare community quarantine in Davao City, dili na ta maghulat na naay magpositive for Covid-19 sa Davao City before ta magdeclare (we do not need to wait that someone will be infected by COVID-19 before we declare)” Inday Sara Duterte-Carpio said.

“Doctors want to contain everything in Metro Manila, and yet Manila passengers are allowed to fly out of Clark to Davao City. Please rethink what you are doing.” the mayor stated.

Last night, Mayor Duterte-Carpio encouraged other LGUs to establish PUI quarantine in their respective areas.

“I am asking all mayors of other LGUs na kapitbahay namin gumawa na kayo ng PUI quarantine area ninyo. Otherwise, I will close Davao City and you will have no access to hospitals and other essential services. Nagsasakripisyo na ang Davao City na walang lockdown para sa inyo, gumawa naman kayo ng action,” Mayor Duterte-Carpio said.
