August 27, 2020

For the information of our Talisaynons, due to the significant increase of COVID-19 positive cases within the Province of Negros Occidental, the entire City of Talisay will be undergoing a “Two-Day Timeout Weekend Mass Testing” from August 30 to 31, 2020 to conduct a wide-scale COVID-19 Mass Testing.

With our deepest hopes to end this pandemic, we encourage the public to buy your basic necessities, especially food, before the said “Two-Day Timeout Weekend” to avoid unnecessary contact with other people as this may result in contracting the virus. We strongly encourage the public to refrain from going out of their homes and practice strict home quarantine during this period.

All our medical frontliners are sacrificing their well-being to save the lives of our countrymen, however, despite their heroic efforts, the great influx of new COVID-19 patients has already overwhelmed our hospitals to the point that they have already reached a critical stage.

During these difficult times, it is only when we strictly follow our health protocols and laws that we can put an end to this pandemic which has already taken the lives of our families and loved ones. This “Two-Day Timeout” is a difficult but necessary means by which we can protect our beloved families and neighbors from the alarming effects of this pandemic Let us all do our part in not making the sacrifices of our brave frontliners in vain.
