Hard lockdown implemented in Barangay Bagong Silangan, QC

A 24-hour hard lockdown was implemented by law enforcers in Barangay Bagong Silangan, Quezon City on Monday. 

According to a Dobol B sa News TV report by Allan Gatus, the hard lockdown started at 5 a.m. of May 4 and will last until 5 a.m. of May 5.

The lockdown was enforced because a lot of residents continue to violate enhanced community quarantine guidelines in the area. 

Quarantine passes would be temporarily suspended during the hard lockdown.

Only frontline workers, barangay officials and health workers will be allowed to go out of their residences. 

Policemen and barangay officials were visible to secure the area. 

Meanwhile, residents placed chairs outside their homes as the barangay promised that food assistance will be given to them on Monday. 

In Manila City, hard lockdown was also implemented in Sampaloc and Tondo District 1 for the conduct of mass testing of suspected coronavirus disease 2019 cases. —Anna Felicia Bajo/KG, GMA News
