Davao de Oro extends ECQ, to draft new programThe provincial government of Davao de Oro has decided to extend the implementation of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) instead of the general community quarantine. Jayvee Tyron Uy issued an executive order fixing the schedule of the ECQ which will last until May 15. We did not implement the general community quarantine recommended by the national Inter-Agency Task Force because we have seen the possible risk. “We are working hard on our (contact) tracing so we could trace if the patient has contracted a resident of Davao de Oro or had a travel history here. We take calculated risks and we say, early lifting of the ECQ is not worth taking,” governor Uy said.
