MAYOR NEIL LIZARES III MESSAGE - September 22, 2020
September 22, 2020
Even before this pandemic, our City Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Office (CDRRMO) has played a vital role in attending to whatever emergency case there is in our city. Our CDRRMO personnel are also part of our valuable frontliners during this Covid-19 pandemic. They are exposed to the virus everyday as they continue to cater to emergency situations, transport our constituents to dialysis centers, and many more.
Despite following the strictest of health protocols, our CDRRMO personnel are very much vulnerable to the virus given the nature of their work. It is with sadness that I announce to you today that more than half of our CDRRMO personnel are showing symptoms. They are currently in strict isolation as they await the schedule for their swab testing.
In order to protect our constituents, the CDRRMO will only cater to emergency cases, for the meantime. We know that our dialysis patients are also immunocompromised and we would like to protect them as much as we could. Thus, we advise the families of our dialysis patients that for now, we will not be able to transport our patients to dialysis centers. We cannot risk our dialysis patients and expose them to the virus.
We ask for your understanding and cooperation. Rest assured that the CDRRMO will continue to accommodate emergency cases. I urge everyone to pray for our frontliners. Let us heal as one.
