As of April 1, all of the city’s 142 barangays were disinfected as part of the continuous simultaneous decontamination operations. The Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) will continue to disinfect various areas in the city.
 
Partnership with Fe del Mundo Hospital
 
Belmonte said the city government has partnered with the Fe del Mundo Hospital located on Banawe Street for it to be an exclusive COVID-accepting hospital starting April 6, to which patients with COVID-19 symptoms can be taken.
