While our Barangay’s lockdown was already lifted on the night of 29 July 2020, which is a good news, but limitations are going to be imposed since there was an increase of positive COVID-19 cases.
Sundays will be a rest day again for the whole of Baguio since malls will be closed.
Also, here is an advisory from the Facebook page of Baguio City Public Information Office.
