QCPD: Residents in Quezon City 'hot zones' will have their provisions supplied by authorized personnel
By Joseph Almer Pedrajas
At least 29 residences will be considered "hot zones" in Quezon City after the local government decided to place some of its barangays under “extreme enhanced community quarantine.”
Quezon City Police District (QCPD) Director Brig. Gen. Ronnie Montejo said this means that people living inside these residences will not be allowed to go outside their houses for a certain period of time, and only authorized personnel will take charge of their provisions.

On the other hand, residents living within the "warm zones" or those living within the 500-meter radius of the "hot zones" will have to undergo police checkpoints and their movements will be limited.
“Kapag lumabas sila ang allowed lang one person per family,” Montejo said, adding that residents who have to go outside will undergo verification and thermal scanning. (Only one person per family is allowed to go out of their home.)
Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte on Wednesday afternoon announced that some of the city barangays will be put under “extreme enhanced community quarantine” due to the rising number of cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the city.
These include Barangay Kalusugan and Barangay Tandang Sora, where there are already at least three confirmed cases.
Certain roads and areas in the city will also be placed on lockdown by police personnel, most of which are where hospitals receiving COVID-19 patients are located, Montejo said.
