“Umabot na sa 804 ang active COVID-19 na kaso sa ating bayan. 60% ay puro close contact, 17% ay APOR, 15% ay high risk na indibidwal. Sa nakaraang buwan ng Agosto, 24 ang namatay sanhi ng COVID-19, at mas mataas pa ngayong Setyembre. 73% ng mga COVID-19 na kaso natin ay sa mga indibidwal na hindi pa bakunado,” said Mayor Garcia.

“Bagama’t ang ating LGU Contact Tracing para sa Detection, Testing, Isolation, Treatment and Reintegration ay epektibo, ang pinaka sandata ng bawa’t isa ay SELF PREVENTION at VACCINATION,” added Mayor Garcia.
