"COVID19 Heat Map showing confirmed cases from different barangays within Cebu City.

Covid-19 cases in Cebu City is 879 and expected to rise substantially, because the city have conducted extensive contact tracing and targeted mass testing as per the directive of Mayor Edgardo Labella. It is imperative that all persons take precautions as if they are carriers of this virus. Many persons may be asymptomatic but infected (Silent Carriers). Staying at home and self-home quarantine are the most effective ways to limit transmission of this virus." 

It's been Day 34 of Cebu City on Enhanced Community Quarantine but the early days of its implementation, the resident were not taking it seriously. Many violators of social distancing and some others are tying to play with the authorities.

Many were trying to pass through borders as per reported to Governor Gwen Garcia. And during the holy week, many were rushing in Carbon market to buy ingredients for "Binignit". Such indications were evident that some Cebuanos are hard-headed. 

When Brgy Luz skyrocketed its confirmed cases, a call for city lockdown was raised  but only the brgy. has been on-lockdown. Some residents were trying to escape the lockdown and have gone to other barangays and municipalities, reports say.

If this is true. The mass testing would be one of the best solutions for the virus containment. We just hope that Cebuanos will be more cooperative this time.

While Cebu City and Cebu province are still on ECQ, we hope many will it seriously and be part of the solution. | bp
