Davao City – Compliance with the SafeDavao QR (DQR) by people entering Davao City through the three Task Force Davao checkpoints is improving since its implementation on November 24, 2020.
On its second week of implementation, Task Force (TF) Davao reported a 99 per cent compliance with the DQR.
“On Saturday, December 6, we have scanned 68,363 out of 68,996 DQR or 99% of people who entered Davao City,” said TF Davao Commander Consolito Yecla.
The 99 per cent compliance on Saturday was the highest recorded compliance for the DQR since its implementation. During its first day of implementation on November 24, TF Davao reported 68 per cent compliance.
Yecla said around 11 persons were denied entry to Davao City as of December 6 for non-compliance with Executive Order Nos. 62 and 63-B, an improvement from 17 persons recorded last December 5.
Yecla said this means that only a few people are not yet aware of the requirements to be secured when entering the city.
Meanwhile, the TF Commander called on the people to know the requirements and prepare them ahead of their travel to Davao City to avoid congestion at the checkpoints.
He also asked for the cooperation of the people when TF Davao checks the required documents.
May iba kasi pag da checkpoints saka hahanap ng papel sa bag so we really advise them na ilabas na yung documents para mas mabilis (Others take out their documents only when they are already at the checkpoint, so we advise them to take their documents out ahead for faster checking),” Yecla said.
Meanwhile, TF Davao has added additional troop members at Lasang, Sirawan, and Lacson checkpoints to speed up their operations.
Residents and non-residents entering Davao City are guided by the Executive Order No. 62 or an “Order Providing for the Guidelines on Enforcement of the Prohibition on Non-Essential Travel in Davao City” and Executive Order No. 63-B “An Order Providing for the Guidelines of Davao City as a Restricted Local Government Unit” published in all City Government of Davao official Facebook page and website www.davaocity.gov.ph/transparency/executive-orders/2020-2/
