Bacoor City Mayor Lani Revilla gives instruction to her staff in a file photo from the Bacoor City Government official FB Page.BACOR CITY, Cavite - The city government of Bacoor thru the Bacoor Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (BDRRMO) has decided to place Barangay Molino III under total lockdown starting April 24 until April 30, 2020.
This developed after the increase in the number of cases of coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 in the area has reached an alarming status thus placing the barangay under total lockdown is a necessary measure to contain the spread of the deadly virus.
"Expanded testing and contact tracing will be immediately conducted," a CDRRMO representative revealed.
The approved resolution encompasses protocols such as closure of all minor ingress and egress roads going in and out of Barangay Molino III with the checkpoint barricaded by the Bacoor-PNP, 24-hours curfew implementation, and issuance of new quarantine passes with very limited use.
Only authorized personnel by the Inter-Agency Task Force Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID); the OFWs and government employees who will check-in at Bacoor's community quarantine facility; and suspected and confirmed cases being transported to community isolation facilities and referral hospitals will be allowed to leave the bounds of the barangay.
Likewise, all public transportation vehicles (such as franchised tricycles, PUJs, PUVs, UV Express, etc.) shall not be allowed even for personal purposes.
Food and other basic essentials could be accessed thru the Molino Online Market delivery, Mercury Drug delivery system, SM Watsons, Mobile Palengke, and other rolling stores in various subdivisions within Barangay Molino III.
Stringent implementation of the liqour ban, prohibition of mass gatherings, illegal gambling and illegal activities will be observed.
Meanwhile, all suspected, probable, and confirmed cases will not be allowed to undergo home quarantine/isolation but should immediately be coordinated with the City Health Office (CHO) for proper assessment and action by the Barangay Health Emergency Response Team (BHERT). These patients will be prioritized for admission in all Level 2 and Level 3 hospitals within Barangay Molino III upon the referral of CHO and the BHERT.
On the other hand, barangay officials and residents who are most affected by the lockdown will be assisted by the CSWDO and the Emergency Response Center thru programs and inventory logistics. Barangay Molino III will also be prioritized for SAP and relief packs distribution. (Ruel Francisco, PIA-Cavite with reports from the official FB page of the City Government of Bacoor)
