By Glazyl Masculino BACOLOD CITY - Five new cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) were reported in the province of Negros Occidental over the weekend. According to the provincial government, the virus infected two locally stranded indivuals (LSIs) and three overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who recently arrived here via repatriation trips. On June 13, a 65-year-old female LSI from Manila was tagged as COVID-19 Patient No. 18. She arrived in the province on June 8 via a 2Go Malasakit Voyage. The patient was asymptomatic, and is currently at a quarantine facility. Also, a 50-year-old male OFW repatriate, who arrived in the province on June 10 via a sweeper flight tested positive for the virus. The patient, who is from Kabankalan City, was labelled as COVID-19 Patient No. 19. He is currently quarantined in a facility with mild symptoms. The following day, another 50-year-old male OFW repatriate from Silay City also tested positive for COVID-19. He is asymptomatic and was identified as the 20th COVID-19 positive patient in the province. He is presently in a quarantine facility after he arrived here on June 9. The 21st COVID-19 positive patient in the province was a 43-year-old male OFW from Saudi Arabia. The provincial government reported that the patient tested negative in his first swab test in Manila but tested positive for COVID-19 when he arrived here on June 9. The patient who is from La Carlota City, is symptomatic. For the 22nd COVID-19 case, the patient was a 37-year-old female LSI from Cauayan town. She is asymptomatic and now on strict isolation. She arrived in the province on June 9 via 2Go Malasakit Voyage. Meanwhile, Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson said that he wanted to limit the flights at the Bacolod-Silay Airport to sweeper flights bringing home stranded Negrenses, and OFWs until June 30, so they will be able to manage the number of people coming into the province amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Commercial flights were initially expected to resume on June 15, but the local government will also ask the airlines to allow those who already bought tickets to take the sweeper flights.
