CEBU CITY – Resources here are already depleted that it can no longer support another round of lockdown, the chief of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) of this city said.
City Councilor Joel Garganera was responding to queries on whether the city can still afford to impose another lockdown due to surging cases of COVID-19.
“If ever it (lockdown) will happen then we cannot do anything about it. But this I tell you when it comes to resources, it is not like before and it will be a very big problem. That’s why we have to open the economy because we no longer have the capability to support the needs of the people,” Garganera said.
