JORDAN, Guimaras – Sangguniang Panlalawigan member Cyril Beltran tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
He was swabbed on June 13, Sunday, and the test result was released on Monday.
According to Vice Gov. John Edward Gando, Beltran decided to have himself tested after a sibling tested positive for COVID-19.
