Singson said Cervantes, Narvacan, San Juan, San Vicente, Sinait and Sta. Maria, which were under MGCQ, would revert to GCQ.
“After
having been placed under MECQ for several weeks and having slightly reduced
their recorded positive cases, the provincial task force against Covid-19 also
recommended the reclassification of Candon City and Caoayan from MECQ to GCQ,”
he said.
”Despite
interventions... the threat of Covid-19 in the province remains very high and
alarming,” Singson said.
He
said there are 247 active cases in Ilocos Sur as of Wednesday.
