“Sa pagduro kang kaso ka COVID-19 sa probinsya, nagapahadumdom kami sa gihapon, aton nga tandaan kag i-practice ang minimum public health standards. Magsuksok gid kang facemask. Magdistansya sang ka metro ukon masobra pa ilabi na gid sa pampubliko nga lugar, ukon mag-sanitize kag manghugas gid kang alima,” according to the APHO.
As much as possible, it added, people should avoid unnecessary travel and just stay home.
Gov. Rhodora Cadiao was hopeful that COVID-19 infections would drop because the 18 towns were observing “courtesy lockdowns” of two weeks wherein cross-border travels were discouraged./PN
