Currently, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, had reported 51 cases of the new coronavirus, COVID-19. As such, the LGUs imposed a new protocol that states returnees wouldn’t be allowed to enter the city and do home quarantines without swab test results.
There have been several locally stranded individuals (LSI) from places like Manila and Cebu who want to come home to their families. However, due to limitations with COVID-19 testings, this has been delayed.
LSI from Manila who wanted to go home to Visayas and Mindanao were stranded at airports and docks as they weren’t allowed to enter due to a lack of swab tests. Meanwhile, there appeared to be a miscommunication between some LGUs and travel agencies.
