Extreme enhanced community quarantine (EECQ) Mayor Joy Belmonte said the city government implements the EECQ in barangays with two or more confirmed COVID-19 cases and in various streets and/or in congested urban poor areas where fast transmission is most likely to occur. However, Belmonte said this will still be subjected to daily review depending on the number of cases/recoveries. She noted the newly reported barangays with two cases have not yet been included in the list as they are still undergoing validation. As of April 23, 7 p.m., the Quezon City local government is implementing EECQ in the following barangays: Tandang Sora, Kalusugan, Ramon Magsaysay, Maharlika, Tatalon, Batasan Hills, Pasong Tamo, Central, San Roque, Paligsahan, Bagong Lipunan ng Crame, South Triangle, Culiat, Bahay Toro, E.

Hope 1 facility As of April 23, Hope 1 has two available rooms for COVID-19 confirmed or suspected patients. Currently, 39 COVID-19 confirmed and suspected patients are in this quarantine facility. Hope 2 facility At present, 130 rooms/beds are occupied by confirmed and suspected COVID-19 patients, while 179 beds are still available. Individuals who have been tested in the city’s community-based testing centers are brought to this facility for self-isolation while waiting for their results. Community-based testing in Quezon City On April 23, a total of 116 swab tests were conducted in the city’s community-based testing centers, local government hospitals, and by the QCESU: Quezon City General Hospital - 11, Novaliches District Hospital - 60, Rosario Maclang Bautista General Hospital - 10, and QCESU - 35. Quarantine violators At 5 p.m. of April 23, 75 individuals were apprehended for violating the ECQ protocols. Social Amelioration Program The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), assisted by the city government, has started the distribution of financial support to qualified Quezon City beneficiaries through the social amelioration program. Belmonte said those with concerns regarding the cash subsidy may contact the city government through email: [email protected]. 'Kalingang Quezon City' The Quezon City government has earmarked P600 million from its P2.8 billion supplemental budget for 2020 to expand the coverage of its Kalingang QC financial assistance program to all vulnerable sectors. Belmonte explained that the expanded program covers unregistered vendors, solo parents, persons with disability (PWDs), and senior citizens. As of April 21, around 36,582 beneficiaries have already received P2,000 each from the city government.
