Home Quarantine Pass limits movement of the residents

TRECE MARTIRES CITY, Cavite, Mar. 27 (PIA) -- Several cities and municipalities in the province have been placed on the extreme enhanced community quarantine (EECQ) due to reports of increasing number of coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 confirmed cases.

To effectively implement the EECQ, every household in a barangay was issued with only one home quarantine pass (HQP) with corresponding control number.

HQPs are non-transferrable. It allows the passage of only one household member in or out of the barangay. Senior citizens considered as high risk and minors are not qualified for this authorization.

The HQPs use is limited for the purchase of essentials like food in public markets, groceries, and supermarkets, buy medicines or prescription drugs from drugstores and pharmacies, transact with banks or other financial establishments, and to seek treatment in hospitals or medical and dental clinics.

Entry to these places is also warranted by the presentation of HQPs only within window hours specified to go out of the barangay premises.

Quarantine Passes may vary according to size, color or design for each city or municipality but its main objective is one and the same, to monitor and limit the movement of the people to contain the further spread of COVID-19.
