Malacañang announces on Valentine’s Day that the province of Negros Occidental along with its capital city, Bacolod, will be placed under COVID-19 Alert Level 2 starting February 16.
The de-escalation comes as the city and the province start its pediatric vaccination against coronavirus today, February 14.
But Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said that the city of Iloilo and the province of Guimaras will remain under Alert Level 3.
The new alert level status for Negros Occidental and Bacolod will remain valid until end of February.
