MAYOR NEIL LIZARES III MESSAGE - July 9, 2020
July 9, 2020
I would like to make a clarification with regard the case of Patient No. 3. As per the World Health Organization, local transmission indicates location where the source of infection is within the reporting location. Patient No. 3 was not infected within our city nor in any of our barangays. Let it be known that Patient No. 3 was infected after he attended to an LSI patient. Technically, we cannot assume that his case is a local transmission.
Unfortunately, we were informed that Patient No. 3 was able to meet up with his friends in the biking community. We immediately transported all those whom he had close contact with to the E.B. Magalona healing facility for RT-PCR testing. After the test, they will be transported to our quarantine facility. As to their families, they are now under strict home quarantine and are being strictly monitored by our barangay officials concerned. No one in their families is allowed to go out.
For everyone to be worry-free, updates will be posted as soon as possible. This is the only way I know that you will all be forced to do whatever safety measure needed to fight the spread of the virus. This is not the time to sow fear. Let us do our part in this battle by practicing these three important acts, 1. Proper handwashing, 2. Proper wearing of facemasks, and 3. Strict social distancing. In addition, let us continue to pray for each other and our city.
