BACOOR CITY, Cavite - In the wake of the continued rise in the number of new COVID-19 cases, the City Government here issued Executive Order No. 06 s. 2021 that orders the implementation of a much stricter quarantine guidelines under the Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ).

Issued on Friday, March 12, 2021 and effective immediately, EO 06-2021, is an order reiterating local directives and policies and revitalized action to curtail the spike in the community transmission of COVID-19 in various areas/barangays in the city.



The order declares that curfew will be from 10pm-4am with prohibition for residents aged below 14 years and those 66 years and older are not allowed to leave their residences.

The sale and purchase of liquor/intoxicating drinks of any kind is strictly prohibited within the curfew hours with drinking and consumption of liquor limited within the house premises only.



Business establishments within the city jurisdiction should be closed by 9pm.

Strict implementation of the mandatory and proper wearing of face mask and face shield in all public areas and inside transport vehicles will be carried out by the Bacoor-PNP.

LGU officials urge the public to practice the prompt isolation of CoViD-19 patients in home quarantine to prevent infection within the household and in cases of suspected CoViD-19 symptoms felt, immediate notification of the Barangay Health Emergency Response Team (BHERT) or Homeowners Association (HOA) HERT must be done, or call Alert 161 for help.



Meanwhile, the LGU had conducted the 2nd round of the CoViD-19 Vaccination rollout last Friday, March 12, 2021 at the Southern Tagalog Regional Hospital with about 160 healthcare workers that were inoculated.

Out of the said total, 77 medical frontliners were given jabs of the Sinovac while 83 received vaccines from AstraZeneca which were all part of the provision from the national government.

While the immunization does not totally guarantee safety from infection it somehow gives a certain degree of safety from having severe symptoms of the disease.

Health experts remind the public to make it a habit to frequently handwash, observe proper hygiene, proper wearing of face mask and physical distancing which is still the best defense against the virus. (Ruel Francisco with reports from Bacoor PIO)
