Mayor Sara Duterte has constantly reminded Dabawenyos to follow minimum public health protocols such as wearing masks, practicing physical distancing, and frequent washing of hands with soap and water.

Dabawenyos, especially residents in critical and high-risk areas are also encouraged to get anti-COVID booster shots.
