BACOLOD City – All 11 individuals under monitoring for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are officially off the 14-day quarantine, the City Health Office (CHO) said.
None of them who completed the compulsory quarantine became confirmed cases of COVID-19, according to CHO Environmental Sanitation Division head Dr. Grace Tan.
“While undergoing quarantine, the patients were all in stable condition and did not exhibit symptoms associated with COVID-19,” said Tan, who is also the spokesperson of the city’s inter-agency taskforce against the virus.
She noted that as of Monday, there are currently no persons under investigation at any medical facilities in the city.
Tan said the CHO continues to closely collaborate with the Department of Health and other health agencies including public and private hospitals, conduct information drives, place health personnel in points of entries and other advocacies so that people will be informed with the accurate data and prevent panic and confusion.
The city government recently required guests at local hotels, resorts and accommodation establishments to complete health declaration cards that list their travel history and report any illnesses they may have experienced over the past 14 days.
Tan noted, such establishments are also required to submit daily reports and, so far, there have been no reports of guests suspected of contracting COVID-19./PN
