THE REGIONAL Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (RIATF) has put Davao City as “restricted” local government due to the surge in Covid-19 cases and further limit the movement of people to essential needs.
Mayor Sara Duterte also released guidelines following
the approval by the RIATF of new restriction as requested by the Davao City Covid-19 Task
Force.
The
guidelines cited the surge in Covid-19 cases because of the innumerable
activities allowed during a Modified General Community Quarantine. The rising
number of cases also resulted in full occupancy of hospital beds and that there
is a need to reduce the number of people moving inside Davao City.
Due
to the pandemic, President Rodrigo Duterte has extended State of Calamity in
the country until September 12, 2021.
With
the restriction, the mayor sought the assistance of Joint Task Force Covid
Shield for enforcement of Authorized Persons Outside Residence (APOR) and non-APOR
travel into Davao City to insulate other local governments from the effect of
the surging cases as well as to further protect the residents of Davao.
APOR
refers to health and emergency frontline services personnel, government
officials and employees, as well as government frontline personnel and duly-authorized
humanitarian assistance actors, including those who come in for work or
business and going home. (Malou Cablinda)
