MMDA Chairman Benhur Abalos (Ali Vicoy/ MANILA BULLETIN)
Abalos, in an interview over DZBB radio Wednesday morning, July 28, equated the circuit-breaker lockdowns to “granular” lockdowns, which are basically micro-level lockdowns that can be focused on a single barangay or street within that barangay. This all depends on the clustering of COVID-19 cases there.
“Matagal na hong ginagawa ito (circuit-breaker or granular lockdown). Ito’y ginagawa na in fact, mayroon apat o limang LGUs na talagang may clustering na ginagawa (We’ve been doing that for a long time. We’ve been doing that and in fact, we have four or five LGUs carrying out clustering),” he said.
