BALIWAG, Bulacan –– The local government will reimpose a curfew beginning Wednesday, March 17, as part of the stricter implementation of a modified general community quarantine (MGCQ).
Mayor Ferdie Estrella said curfew hours would begin from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. as provided by Municipal Ordinance No. 4.
Estrella said offices were also ordered to observe a 50 percent workforce, while commercial establishments and public transportation must operate at 50 percent capacity.
The mayor has also suspended the distribution and presentation of the student modules.
He said a liquor ban was again imposed while bars or nightclubs were also ordered to close until April 4 or until the municipal Interagency Task Force publishes a new notice.
The stricter MGCQ guidelines would help prevent the escalation of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases, Estrella said in a text message.
As of Monday, the city registered 107 active cases of COVID-19. Since last year, there have been 861 cases of COVID-19 here.
