In his Executive Order No. 48-C, Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard Chan said the closure on Sundays would serve as the time for vendors to disinfect their stalls.
According to the EO, which will take effect at midnight on Monday, April 20, the the city will already use the ending digits of the residents’ quarantine pass control number as basis of their market day schedules. While markets will be closed on Sundays, the executive order directs vendors to participate in the city’s mobile market, Market-on-Wheels, in order to ensure food accessibility despite the market closure.
Lapu-Lapu City will also be enforcing a number coding policy to control the volume of vehicles plying the streets of the city during the ECQ.For Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays, and during morning on Sundays, vehicles with plate numbers ending in even digits will be allowed on the city’s streets while odd-digit ending plate numbers will be allowed to go out on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sunday afternoons.
