Sotto clarified that a granular lockdown is not similar to an enhanced community quarantine (ECQ).
“Maaaring lumabas ang mga papuntang trabaho (Authorized Persons Outside Residence) o emergency,” Sotto said in a Facebook post.
“Magiging mas mahigpit ang mga barangay at pulis sa mga lugar na ito. Bawal ang mga bisita at bawal lumabas ng bahay kung hindi APOR,” he added.
