CEBU CITY, Philippines — The 48 repatriated Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who arrived in Bohol province last Tuesday, April 28, 2020, are set to undergo their second testing for the coronavirus
Bohol Governor Arthur Yap, in a live interview in government-owned PTV 4’s Laging Handa public briefing this morning, said the testing is needed to be certain of the condition of the OFWs following conflicting results of their earlier polymerase chain reaction and rapid antibody-based test.
“Whatever it is, I just want to say that for transparency. Gusto kong malaman ng lahat sa entire country na iyan ang situation ngayon. We are still verifying,” Yap said.
