Olivarez said during the lockdown, home quarantine passes are temporarily suspended and only frontliners will be allowed to go out of their residences.

"Para sa mas epektibong pagpapatupad ng 'lockdown,' bawat tahanan ay pagkakalooban ng kanilang pangunahing pangangailangan tulad ng pagkain at tubig na ipapamahagi ng ating pamahalaang lungsod mula Huwebes ng hapon hanggang sa ikatlong araw (Sabado), sa pakikipagtulungan ni Kapitan Jun Zaide ng Barangay Baclaran," Olivarez said.

He also said mass testing would be conducted among residents during the lockdown period.

The local government will also conduct total disinfection of the areas under lockdown on Friday, Olivarez said.
