The CCHD says it won't include sitios in its report of COVID-19 cases to avoid confusion and to prevent other sitios from being complacent.
CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Cebu City Health Department will not be reporting the specific sitios of new cases in the city’s barangays to avoid confusion.
However, the CCHD said that publishing the specific sitios would only encourage residents from other sitios to be lenient in their practice of health measures and quarantine restrictions. The verification of the patient’s residence is also another issue for the CCDH if they reveal the sitios of the positive cases.
Even though the CCHD will not report the specific sitios themselves, the barangays are provided with such information.
