THE LOCAL police force and the Barangay Sita Task Force continue to apprehend hundreds of health protocol violators every day despite the stricter implementation of Zamboanga City’s Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine status.

Most of those apprehended had no quarantine passes or valid identification cards, and not wearing or improperly use of face mask or face shield, and not observing physical distancing. Others violated the curfew hours.
Mayor Beng Climaco has repeatedly appealed to residents to strictly follow the health protocols. “We need to follow the rules, the health protocols in an effort to stop the spread of the virus. This is the responsibility of everybody,” she said.
The local health situation quickly changed after the national government’s Inter-Agency IATF-MEID relaxed its travel protocols across the country and allowed people to go from one place to another without medical certificates and RT-PCR tests.
Government and private hospitals here have put up additional wards to address the growing number of patients with the deadly respiratory disease, but are not even enough.
Climaco stressed that in confronting the pandemic, the government has to balance medical science, facts and opportunity for people to be healed. She reiterated that people have to fully cooperate and support the government in the fight against Covid-19 to prevent further increase in the number of infections here. The mayor said the local government is making available the needed resources to assist people who are affected by temporary granular lockdowns in the barangays should Covid-19 cases spread rapidly.
