Extreme enhanced community quarantine (EECQ) Mayor Joy Belmonte explained that the extreme enhanced community quarantine (EECQ) is enforced in barangays with at least two confirmed cases in different streets and/or in congested urban poor areas where fast transmission of the disease is highly possible. However, Belmonte said this is still subject to review everyday depending on the number of cases/recoveries. The newly-reported barangays with two cases have not yet been included in the list because validation is ongoing. As of 7 p.m. of March 25, the Quezon City government has subjected the following 13 barangays to EECQ: Bgy.Tandang Sora, Bgy. Kalusugan, Bgy. Ramon Magsaysay, Bgy. Maharlika, Bgy. Tatalon, Bgy.

Central does not have any COVID-19 case, but was included under the EECQ due to the presence of numerous hospitals along East Avenue. Decontamination efforts The Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (QCDRRMO) and the Quezon City Fire Department (QCFD) had continuously disinfected the city’s streets and highways. On March 25, Bgy. Masagana, Bgy. San Roque, and Bgy. Bagong Pag-asa were disinfected and decontaminated. On Thursday (March 26), the QCDRRMO, QCFD, and the concerned barangay fire brigades will conduct simultaneous decontamination operations. Food pack distribution As of 7 p.m. of March 25, the city government has distributed 490,000 food packs among the various barangays. Clearing operations team reactivated The Quezon City Task Force Clearing has been reactivated to monitor and strictly implement social distancing in public markets and other areas. Belmonte said “Task Force Disiplina’’ is in charge of Districts 2 and 5 while the Department on Public Order and Safety (DPOS) will handle Districts 3 and 4. Meanwhile, the Task Force on Transportation and Traffic Management’ will handle Districts 1 and 6.
