It’s official.
Cebu Province, including independent cities – Cebu City, Mandaue City and Lapu-Lapu City, has been placed under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ).
Local Government Officials have already announced and signed the respective Executive Orders issuing the Enhanced Community Quarantine and its supporting information.
What is an Enhanced Community Quarantine?
Under “general community quarantine”, people are generally limited to “accessing basic necessities and work” while uniformed personnel and quarantine officers are present at border points.
The second level is called the “enhanced community quarantine” which generally means:
- Strict home quarantine (going out for no valid reason is strictly not allowed)
- Suspended public transportation (may vary per city)
- Food and health services will be regulated
- Arriving international flights are strictly not allowed. Departing flights are still allowed.
- More uniformed personnel (with the help of AFP and PNP) will help implement the ECQ.
NOTE: The specific guidelines of the Cebu province and the individual cities in Cebu (Cebu City, Mandaue City, Lapu-Lapu City) may differ.
Banks, ATM machines, supermarkets, and pharmacies will still be open. Government offices will still continue to operate, as well as other private companies in the food and beverages industry, medicine, banks, telecos, and BPOs but with a minimum number of employees.
Effectivity:
- Cebu Province – Effective today as stated by Gov. Gwen Garcia
- Cebu City – 12:00 NN, March 28, 2020 until 12:00NN of April 28, 2020 or unless sooner lifted or withdrawn
- Mandaue City – 12:01 AM, March 29, 2020
- Lapu-Lapu City – 12:01 AM, March 29, 2020
How to get a quarantine / ECQ pass?
Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) passes are for free and not for sale. One pass is allocated per household.
The pass should be presented when you’re outside your house to buy basic necessities in behalf of your family or when out for work.
There are two (2) options to get your ECQ pass:
- Door-to-door delivery: May vary. Some municipalities or cities will be delivering your passes directly to your house. Distribution usually takes within 3 days.
- Barangay Hall: In most cases, you will need to get it from the barangay hall.
In Cebu City, there are four (4) different color types of ECQ passes:
- RED Pass: for Government Officials
- WHITE Pass: for Crisis Management Team and frontliners
- BLUE Pass: for NON-Cebu City Residents
- GREEN Pass: for Cebu City Residents

Thanks po
Gusto Kona po umuwi talaga.
Having thoroughly read this EO, it does not state there is a ban on the sale of Liquor/wine/beer. So is it safe to assume one can buy these items to take home for consumption?? In the previous ECQ, EO, Mayor Labella banned all Liquor sales & public consumption but, nothing is noted in the new ECQ. Your reply confirming this will be greatly appreciated! Salamat!!

You should report it to the police if this is true na naay bayad ang pagkuha sa quarantine pass kay as far as I know it should be accessible and available to anyone so long as you are a residing on that place whether you are a voter or not and it must be free wala ka dapat bayran. Please be aware of situation like this no one should take advantage even the authorities. You have the right to speak up.
