MAYOR NEIL LIZARES III MESSAGE - July 8, 2020
July 8, 2020
Fellow Talisaynon, this saddens me but I have to let you know so we all stay vigilant and cautious. Talisay City has Patient Nos. 2 and 3.
Patient No. 2 is a Locally Stranded Invidividual (LSI) from Manila who arrived at the Bacolod-Silay Airport with documents proving that she's negative from Covid-19. Immediately at the airport, RT-PCR test was done and she was transported to our quarantine facility.
Just today, however, her RT-PCR test result showed that she is Covid-19 Positive. The patient is now at the healing facility in EB Magalona. We are now continuously monitoring the people she was with during her quarantine and decided to conduct another RT-PCR test for the safety of all and to make sure Talisay City will be COVID-19 free.
Patient No. 3 is a healthworker at a hospital in Bacolod City. His RT-PCR test was done last July 1, 2020 and he was immediately admitted to the hospital. The result of his RT-PCR test was also released today and it was positive. Please note, however, that the case of Patient No. 3 is not a local transmission of the virus. Patient No. 3 stays admitted at the hospital at this moment.
I understand that some of you may feel scared but this is not the time to panic. I only ask that we all pray for the immediate healing of Patient Nos. 2 and 3. I also urge you all to be extra-careful. Practice proper handwashing, wearing of facemask, and strict social distancing. Let us not allow this news to weaken us, instead let us continue to pray and fight. We are here to protect you, just please cooperate with us.
