CEBU CITY, Philippines – Local CEOs in Cebu will meet this Friday, May 15, 2020, as the province and cities of Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu mark the end of a month and a half of Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ).
The meeting, which will take place in the city of Balamban, in the mid-west of Cebu, will discuss new policies that the province and highly urbanized chartered cities will observe in their transition to general community quarantine on Saturday, May 16.
“Nag-andam na kita in a complete transition in ECQ ngadto in GCQ. “Duna na kitay giandam nga mga lakang, mga protocols apan gikinahanglan nako niini ang input usab sa mga mayor,” said Cebu governor Gwendolyn Garcia.

However, Cebu City, which has more than 1,600 COVID-19 cases, will remain under a modified ECQ from May 16 to May 31.
Before the Palace announcement, Garcia had already said that he was in favor of switching to GCQ since the province, which has a population of more than three million, has kept its COVID-19 cases “to a minimum.”
As of May 12, the province of Cebu has a total of 55 cases, 37 of which are internal to the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center located in Barangay Kalunasan, Cebu City.
Garcia said that the mayors of Cebu City, Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue will join their meeting with the other mayors from different cities to resolve the policies that are tailored to each LGU.
In previous announcements, Garcia said that border restrictions will remain even after the province changes to GCQ. / bmjo
