Curfew hours in Pangasinan lifted
AFTER two years of hard restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the provincial government finally lifted the curfew hours implemented across the province.
Governor Amado Espino III on Wednesday, Apr. 20, signed and issued Executive Order Number 0027-2022, lifting the province-wide curfew hours.
He cited the continuous decline of COVID-19 cases in the province that prompted him to order the lifting of curfew hours.
“There is a decline in the number of confirmed infections in the previous months,” Espino said.
EO 0027-2020 will be in effect in the 47 component towns and cities. Dagupan, an independent component city, lifted its curfew a month earlier.
He added that the provincial government has been working towards further easing restrictions on movement of its constituents to balance economic and health concerns against the threat of COVID-19.
When Pangasinan was placed under Alert Level 1 COVID-19 classification, the province-wide curfew was still maintained by the Provincial Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID).
The governor previously shortened the curfew hours in the province from 12 midnight to 4 a.m, when the province transitioned to Alert Level 1 in March this year.
Meanwhile, data from the Provincial Health Office (PHO) showed that as of 6 p.m of Apr. 19, no new COVID-19 cases, no new recoveries and deaths were recorded.
However, there were still eight active cases.
The towns of Malasiqui and Sta. Barbara had two active infections each while the towns of Bani, Asingan, Calasiao and San Carlos City had one case each. (Leonardo Micua/Jerick Pasiliao)
