Olivarez issued a Memorandum Order urging law enforcers not to waste the gains the local government has made in its efforts to curb the transmission of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Based on data from the City Health Office, it showed a significant drop in the number of COVID-19 cases in the city due to the strict implementation and enforcement of the health protocols during the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ).
He said the strict implementation and enforcement of health protocols resulted in the downgrading of the quarantine classification of the National Capital Region (NCR) Plus to MECQ.

Barangay Ginebra San Miguel assistant coach Richard del Rosario thinks the waiting game surrounding the start of the PBA season is making it stressful for players and coaches who are raring to get back on the hardcourt.
“To be honest with you, mas stressful nga itong nangyayari na di pa tayo nagsisimula because of the uncertainty. Mas stressful yung di mo alam mangyayari,” Del Rosario said in the 2OT podcast that aired Saturday, May 1.
(To be honest, the current situation is more stressful because of the uncertainty.)
Del Rosario expressed this belief as the PBA continues to find ways for the 46th season to tip off amid the current COVID-19 situation where cases rose to an average of at least 8,000 per day since mid-March.
