CDNTopStories: Tourists are arriving on Boracay Island in trickles after government agencies confirmed that a recent visitor, who was part of a group of Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) personnel, tested positive for the new coronavirus disease.
More than a week after 28 BFP personnel in Western Visayas had been relieved, the agency had not submitted a report, including the itinerary of the infected employee, to the local government of Malay in Aklan province, said Madel Joy Tayco, spokesperson for the town’s interagency task force on COVID-19.
In a resolution approved last week, the council also denounced the BFP employee’s “selfish” and “irresponsible act” in disregarding local quarantine protocols. The legal department of the Iloilo City government is also preparing complaints to be filed in the Office of the Ombudsman or in the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, according to its mayor, Jerry Treñas.
