But Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio said Davao de Oro informed her that they will remain under ECQ.

“It is the decision of the LGU if they continue to be under ECQ even if they have been modified to GCQ,” Duterte-Carpio said in an interview with DCDR Tuesday afternoon.

Areas which are not mentioned are recommended to shift to General Community Quarantine.
