Abra execs allow stranded residents to return home

BANGUED, Abra --  The provincial government is now allowing all stranded Abrenians outside the province to come home with the province now under  General Community Quarantine.

Municipal local government units are now communicating with stranded constituents arrangements for their return.

Gov. Joy Bernos said prior to entering the province, they must secure medical certificate from the rural health unit  where they have stayed, and a certificate of 14-day quarantine completion. 

The Provincial Task Force will strictly monitor and record the entry of people in the province.

At the entry point of the province in Tangadan, San Quintin, the LGUs will provide free service vehicles to bring their residents to their respective areas.

Bernos said they will be automatically housed at the isolation units in their municipalities for another 14 day quarantine before  allowed to go home to their families.

The PGA has closed its entry points for inbound vehicles and individuals during the imposition of Enhanced Community Quarantine for more than a month  as a precautionary measure against the spread of  COVID-19. JDP/CAGT – PIA CAR, Abra
