– While the coronavirus disease contagion rages in other parts of the country, the Summer Capital is racing to “flatten the curve” and contain the spread of the virus.Mayor Benjamin Magalong said it has been 11 days since the city had its last confirmed COVID-19 case on March 28, 2020. If this trend keeps up, the city can claim to have truly “flattened the curve” or reined in the insidious disease, he added.
“Discipline is the key. We are being rewarded because this is the 11th day that no confirmed case was recorded. Recoveries are rising while COVID-19 positive cases are going down. Keep up the cooperation.” “I thank our constituents for their cooperation. Their being disciplined is helping us fight and control this virus. I also thank the barangay officials for their rigorous approach in keeping their residents at home and the strict police implementation of the window hour or market day and curfew hours,” Magalong added.
As of April 6, the city has 390 PUIs under home isolation. Magalong gave the signal to conduct rapid tests of health workers and Persons Under Investigation confined at home with mild COVID-19 symptoms. PUIs with mild symptoms who will test positive will be subjected to PCR confirmatory tests while those with negative results will be made to continue their 14-day quarantine.
