The indefinite lockdown of the Iloilo Fishing Port Complex (IFCP) in Iloilo City is in preparation for its safe reopening amid rising coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases that were traced to the facility. The indefinite closure was announced by Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas on Aug 8, 2020, due to the lack of sufficient number of compliance officers deployed to the port. The compliance officers will enforce health protocols such as physical distancing and wearing of face masks.
