MAYOR NEIL LIZARES III MESSAGE - August 8, 2020
August 8, 2020
This virus is slowly targeting our frontliners---the individuals who are working tirelessly to protect us. How I wish I have good news to share but there is none as we record another Covid-19 positive, Patient No. 30.
Patient No. 30 is a healthworker at a hospital in Bacolod City. Just recently, he was advised by the hospital management to undergo home quarantine as he was feverish. The hospital management failed to coordinate and inform us of this incident so we only knew of the condition of Patient No. 30 after his swab result was released. Had we known prior, we could have taken the necessary steps to better handle the situation at the earliest possible time. For the safety of the Talisaynons, I am directing that a portion of Purok Lily, Brgy. Zone 10 be sealed off immediately until we are sure that no one got infected and in order to make sure that his family can be strictly monitored by the barangay.
I will be writing a letter to all hospitals in Bacolod City requesting them to properly inform us of incidents of medical frontliners showing symptoms or being suspected of being Covid-19 positive. I am asking for proper coordination, communication, and cooperation. These healthworkers are our own and we should protect them.
Just to recap, we also have Patient Nos. 22 to 29. All are in strict quarantine in our designated facilities. Just like Patient No. 30, Patient No. 27 is also a healthworker. The rest, Patient Nos. 22 to 26 and 28 to 29, are all OFWs.
As of this announcement, we also have Patient No. 31, a dialysis patient. She is also in strict quarantine.
I am asking for your prayers, understanding, and cooperation. Let us help one another survive this pandemic. Practice proper handwashing, proper wearing of facemasks, and strict physical distancing. Please avoid crowded places and do not go out if you have no necessary transactions outside your home. Remind and gently reprimand those who do not follow the law. Let us educate our fellow citizens so we can heal as one.
