This is what I’m getting in reading news feeds on my Facebook, that the City, our city, Davao City was in a half lock down, I don’t even know what that totally means. As I read from friends post, and the news, no one has to leave the city or getting inside the city, so if you’re planning to visit Davao city, think about it again coz surely they can’t come in. Our Mayor is trying hard to close every section of the city in order to facilitate the outbreak, coz in one of the neighboring city, one caught positive for the virus, that’s why our Mayor is so handy about her people’s health. Doing her job to make us safe. Are you also experiencing this?

Here in North Carolina the schools have been closed for two weeks. No more than 100 people can be at a gathering place (for social events) at a time. There are other states across the US that are even more strict.

@JustBhem I should clarify, they just closed them - and the duration is for two weeks. They will be using an e-learning platform so that they can still learn.

I very much agree with what our government is doing. It is for our own good, for our own safety. What i dont like is the hardheaded Filipinos, always complain and always insist on things that they wanna do.

Yeah, I read the news about Mayor Sarah putting Davao City on a lockdown. Maybe they are still formulating the regulations. We live in a suburban town that is not included in the lockdown of Metro Manila.

@JustBhem that is what we need against the spread of the virus - strict implementation of the lockdown.

yes, Metro Manila is in 'community quarantine' people with only business in Manila can be allowed to go inside and they have to prove it. They should have company ID or COE. Ayala Malls announced their temporary closure too
