Gealon said that it is not safe for the watchers to simply stay at the Fuente Osmeña Circle while waiting for their family members to be released from VSMMC, especially these past days with the unpredictable weather.The watchers reported that they have been asked to go home by the city government and buses were commissioned to take them to the North and South Bus Terminals.
The city put up tents and provided food packs for the watchers since last week, but with the one patient-one watcher policy of the VSMMC, may of them are still stuck at the Fuente Osmeña Circle.
