GUINOBATAN, Albay—City Mayor Nelson Legacion shut down Naga’s borders with adjacent Milaor Saturday after one of the town’s residents, PH763, was confirmed positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
In a post on social media, Legacion said that he contacted Milaor mayor Anthony Reyes and informed him of a “lockdown against Milaor residents.”
“This means that, temporarily, residents of Milaor will not be allowed entry to Naga City,” Legacion said.
He, however, did not say until when the lockdown would be in effect.
PH763, a 48-year-old woman from Milaor, arrived from Metro Manila on March 5, and was swabbed for COVID-19 on March 17, he said.
