After recording 24 cases of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the village council of Batavia, in Region Seven, has decided to lock down the community in order to stop the spread of the virus within the area.
However, according to Toshao Oren Williams, although residents agree that the lockdown is necessary, many have said that that they don’t have the resources or food supplies to keep them afloat for the next two weeks.
The lockdown was instituted on the community of 550 residents by the Village Council on Wednesday.
