JORDAN, Guimaras – A 63-year-old male senior citizen being isolated at the quarantined facility here was found dead on Monday morning.
According to Dr. Robel Gencianeo, municipal health officer, his staff checked the senior citizen’s room because the patient was not answering his mobile phone. They found him already dead.
