Due to the rising cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the country, the national government has implemented community quarantines to limit the movement of the people in order to stop the spread of the pandemic.

However, this also resulted in many residents of Lezo becoming stranded from other provinces as well as those who are working abroad. Because of this, the national government has issued guidelines to regulate the going home of repatriated overseas Filipino workers (ROFWs) and locally stranded individuals (LSI).

Lezo is a landlocked and smallest municipality in the province of Aklan, Western Visayas region (Region VI), Philippines. It has a population of 15,224 (2015 Census figures).
