Two-year-old kid in Or. Mindoro town gets COVID-19

A two-year-old kid became the latest carrier of the COVID-19 virus in Oriental Mindoro.

This was revealed by Mayor Mark Marcos of the municipality of Naujan based on the report he got from their Municipal Health Office (MHO).
 
“Siya ay naexposed sa kamag-anak niyang nauna ng nagpositibo sa virus,” said Marcos.
 
The kid was actually the second two-year-old kid who got infected with the disease.
 
“Kamakailan lamang ay meron ding isang dalawang taong-gulang na batang lalaking taga-Buhangin na nagpositibo sa COVID-19 pagkatapos mahawa sa isang kapamilya na unang dinapuan ng virus,” disclosed Marcos.
 
To date, there are 17 active COVID-19 cases in Naujan.
 
Meantime, Oriental Mindoro Governor Humerlito Dolor dispelled rumors circulating on social media that the province will soon be under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ).
 
Dolor also belied a report stating that those entering their province will be required to undergo antigen test amounting to P3,000.
 
“Upang maisigurado ang kapakanan ng bawat pamilyang uuwian, napagkasunduan sa konsultasyon ng mga LGUs na kakailanganin lamang ang antigen test kung walang hawak na negative RT-PCR bago maglakbay. Ito ay nagkakahalaga lamang ng ang pinakamababa ay P550 depende sa brand na gagamitin. Mayroon ding mga LGUs na nagbibigay ng subsidy sa antigen test,” said Dolor.
 
“Maaaring pong makauwi sa ating lalawigan ang lahat ng mga may essential travel lalo na ang ating mga kababayan. Kailangan lamang ng Travel Coordination Pass mula sa LGU na pupuntahan,” Dolor added.
