Zapote Market Under Lockdown After Vendors, Marshal Positive For Virus
ZAPOTE MARKET UNDER LOCKDOWN – The Bacoor City Public Market or the “Zapote Market” has been shutdown for one week.

Ang Bacoor City Public Market o mas kilala sa tawag na Zapote Market ay pansamantalang isasara simula bukas August 11 hanggang August 18 matapos na malaman ng Pamahalaang Lungsod na mayroong mga manininda at security marshalls ang nag-positibo sa ginawang mass testing noong August 7

Furthermore, the LGU advised those who visited the market from August 5 to August 10 to monitor their condition. Additionally, those who had visited were urged to immediately coordinate with their barangay health emergency response teams as soon as COVID-19 symptoms appear.
