Statement of Talisay Mayor Neil Lizares on COVID-19 patient Number 4

July 21, 2020

I am happy to let you all know that Patient No. 4, the four-year-old from Purok Pasto, has already tested NEGATIVE. His mother and brother, who were brought to the quarantine facility immediately after his result went out, are also NEGATIVE for Covid-19. The three were transported back to their home for a strict and monitored 14-day home quarantine. The other relatives of Patient No. 4 are still at the quarantine facility as they await the results of their RT-PCR tests. For this reason, the EO with regard to the lockdown of Purok Pasto will be lifted BUT strict community quarantine shall still be imposed for the security and safety of the residents.

I am grateful to all of you for showing your concern to our patients. Please make proper handwashing, proper wearing of your facemasks, and strict social distancing a routine in your households and outside. Let us heal as one.
