12 areas in San Juan under granular lockdown due to COVID-19 cases —Zamora

Twelve areas in San Juan City are under granular lockdown due to COVID-19  cases, Mayor Francis Zamora said Wednesday.

"We have 12 na naka-granular lockdown at sila ay sinusuplayan ng food packs, sila ay tini-test at mino-monitor nang mabuti," he said in a radio interview.

(We have 12 areas under granular lockdown and they are being supplied with food packs, tested and constantly monitored.)

Zamora added that authorities are on guard to ensure that no residents of the affected areas will be able to go out.

"Bawal ho talaga [lumabas] dahil sila ay naka-granular lockdown, ibig sabihin they are potential virus carriers already. Kelangan tapusin ang 14 days," he said.

(They are not really allowed to go out because they are under granular lockdown, which means they are potential virus carriers. They have to complete the 14 days.)

At present, Zamora said San Juan has 731 active COVID-19 cases, including 269 asymptomatic, 431 mild cases, 23 moderate patients, five severe and three critical.

The government has retained the modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) in Metro Manila until September 15, 2021, or until the pilot general community quarantine with alert level system is implemented. —KBK, GMA News
