Quarantine measures have been imposed on two sub-villages in Negros Oriental, where there are patients with the coronavirus disease.
The patient has been placed at the barangay isolation center, including her husband and child.
Dr. Liland Estacion of the Provincial Health Office said in a press conference that health authorities had yet to determine how she got the virus since she was neither an overseas Filipino worker nor a locally stranded individual, who was repatriated. A sub-village in Barangay Bugnay in northern Mabinay town has also been placed on quarantine after a COVID-19-positive patient went around, made contact with neighbors, and even had a drinking session with some of them.
The patient was a 25-year-old construction worker, who had been stranded in Bacolod City, and had allegedly evaded the border checkpoint by taking a shortcut directly to his hometown, municipal disaster risk reduction and management officer Dindo Amorganda said. The worker arrived home in late May, but only tested positive on June 2. He is now on isolation at the town’s government quarantine facility.
