Iloilo City May Retain Strict Quarantine Status

Iloilo City may retain its quarantine status or it may elevate to a stricter category following its reclassification by the Department of Health as high-risk area for coronavirus disease (COVID)-19.

“We can’t be complacent yet. I have been saying time and again that COVID-19 is still here, and we really have to follow the health protocols, and get vaccinated. We are doing everything we can to improve our situation,” he said.
