There are 21 barangays in Cebu City eyed for granular lockdown as identified by the Interagency Task Force (IATF).

These places compose the highest number of active coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases in a period of three days.

Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu said the best strategy the city can apply moving forward with the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is to contain the lockdown to smaller areas where there are a lot of cases.

  • Lahug – 38
