Placed under extreme localized community quarantine (ELCQ) are St. Anthony Street in JPA Subdivision, Bgy. Tunasan and Fresnedi Compound on Amparo Street in Bgy. Poblacion. These will be on lockdown for 15 days from 6 a.m. of March 26 to 6 a.m. of April 10. 

Mayor Jaime Fresnedi issued an executive order putting the two areas on lockdown upon the recommendation of the City Health Office (CHO) under acting head Dr. Juancho Bunyi. 

According to the CHO, the lockdown in Fresnedi Compound on Amparo Street  covers 175 individuals in 48 households. The area has a high attack rate of 17.14 per 1,000 individual population from March 16 to 25, and a narrow case doubling time of three days. 

The lockdown on St. Anthony Street in JPA Subdivision covers 155 individuals in 31 households with a reported high attack rate of 17.14 per 1,000 population and a narrow case doubling time of 31 per 1,000 population. 

“An attack rate is defined as the proportion of those who became ill after a specified exposure,” according to the World Health Organization. Doubling time is the number of days for cases to double in number. 

The CHO will conduct mass testing of residents in the two areas to strengthen detection, isolation, and treatment strategies. In addition, the city government and barangays will provide food packs to the residents covered by the lockdown. 

According to Tez Navarro, head of the Muntinlupa Public Information Office, no one in the affected areas will be allowed to go out except for medical workers. 

The move came after the Muntinlupa City government reported a total of 735 active COVID-19 cases from 339 last March 19, or an increase of 116 percent. 

As of March 25, Muntinlupa has 6,699 confirmed COVID-19 cases, 735 of which are active, 5,773 recoveries, and 191 deaths. 

Mayor Fresnedi had earlier placed Cruzero Street in Villa Carolina 1 Subdivision, Bgy. Tunasan, and 124 Purok 1, Bgy. Cupang under lockdown from March 13 to 28 due to a spike in COVID-19 cases.
