From midnight , 12:00 a.m. of February 4, the city will be under General Community Quarantine (GCQ) until midnight on February 10 despite the reservations expressed by the Department of Health Region 2.
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) however said the shift is necessary specifically to some business in the city.
During a virtual press briefing , Mayor Jefferson Soriano said the city will open the transportation sector, with 20% of public tricycles being allowed to ply their routes under a color-coded scheme.
Private tricycles and motorcycles will be allowed to travel only with immediate family members apart from delivering goods.
Soriano plans to allow only 50% of government workforce to perform their duties eventhough under GCQ, government agencies are allowed to operate at 75%.
