It was approved on Tuesday after board member Juan Antonio Alvarez' privilege speech on the reported COVID-19 local transmission case in Coron and formal proposal to the legislative body.
Of the active cases, 18 are in Puerto Princesa, 13 are in Cuyo, seven are in Taytay, five are in Roxas, four are in Coron, three are in Quezon, two are in Brooke’s Point, one is in Araceli, one is in Culion, one is in Dumaran, one is in Aborlan, and one is in Agutaya.
Ayon kay Dr. Leo Salvino, ang municipal health officer ng Roxas, dapat ay wala munang kontak o interaksyon ang mga locally stranded individuals (LSIs) at returning overseas Filipinos (ROFs) na nag-graduate na sa kanilang quarantine kung hindi naman kailangan.
Ang bayan ng Balabac at ng Narra ay ang mga natatanging munisipyo sa southern part ng Palawan na zero cases matapos na may mga naitala ng kaso sa Quezon, Rizal, Brooke's Point, Sofronio Española at Bataraza noong mga nakalipas na buwan hanggang ngayon.
In San Vicente, 41 individuals have been issued health certificates and were finally sent home, after completing their quarantine period without developing any symptoms.
The decision was reached in the wake of a sudden spike of COVID-19 cases in several provinces, including Palawan and Puerto Princesa City, since the program early this month.
