CLARK FREEPORT— The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is set to augment the resources of the local government units (LGUs) under granular lockdowns.

With this scheme, only certain areas such as barangays, streets, sitio, purok, or subdivisions identified as “critical zones” or high risk for the COVID-19 would be placed under a lockdown.
The provision of family food packs to the affected residents will be through a co-sharing of responsibility by the DSWD and the LGU.
