Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon returned to work at the City Hall on Monday, Aug. 22, after recovering from Covid-19 and urged people to get their booster shots.
Biazon attended the weekly flag-raising ceremony for the first time since he tested positive for Covid-19 last week.
He said the City Health Office (CHO) gave him the clearance to report for work on Aug. 21.
“It’s good to be back,” Biazon greeted city hall employees after being under isolation for one week.
Biazon credited his booster shot for easing the Covid-19 symptoms he experienced.
“Take it from me. Ako ay nagpapasalamat at nagpabooster ako dahil ang effect sa akin ng Covid was just mild (I am thankful that I got booster because the effect of Covid-19 to me was just mild),” he said.
He said he experienced cold, cough, sore throat and body aches for three days but the symptoms were gone after that period.
The mayor urged everyone to follow minimum health protocols.
On Aug. 21, the Muntinlupa CHO recorded 53 new Covid-19 cases, 45 recoveries, and one death to bring the total active cases to 161 out of 42,571 confirmed cases, 41,783 recoveries, and 627 deaths since 2020.
