Baguio
city seems to be leading the way for the rest of the country in battling the
coronavirus, it’s a bit odd since most of the focus is on the National Capital
Region (NCR).
The
City Health Office (CHO) of Baguio has reported that there has been an absence
of COVID-19 cases in the city for the last five days, but it is not an
insurance that the threat of the virus is over so the health of the city has
called for non-complacency.
City
Health Officer Dr. Rowena Galpo cautioned that the city may have not seen a new
positive case in the last five days – the last being on March 28 – but this did
not mean that people could now let their guard down.
The
City Health Officer underscored that the more that the public should be
vigilant and should continue to observe the COVID-19 control protocols in the
remaining 12 days of the enhanced community quarantine, which is scheduled to
end on April 14, or even beyond should authorities extend it.
Baguio
City Mayor Benjamin Magalong is not letting his guard down for the sake of his
constituents, the mayor wants to follow through with the contact tracing to make
sure that no one will be missed.
“There were gaps before that we are now addressing so we will not be
surprised if more cases will turn up,” the mayor said.
Baguio city Epidemiologist Dr. Donnabel Panes also expressed her optimism
that the contamination had been contained and contacts rounded up at the
moment. What can you say about this?
