The coffins spread out all over city would also have signs in Cebuano which say: “died because they did not wear mask” and “Stay at home so you don’t end up in a coffin.” “Why are we doing this? So many of our brothers are hard-headed. So many still do not understand COVID-19. We will keep repeating that COVID-19, indeed kills”, said the mayor.
“Because our residents go out for work, they don’t realize they are carriers. If you have a fever or cough, immediately inform the local government.”, said Chan.
