“Basi sa resulta sa swab test, kon PCR test NEGATIBO tanan ang mga close contacts nga atong na identify diri sa atong lungsod human sa gihimo nga imbestigasyon ug contact tracing,” Yu said.
(Based on the result of the swab test or PCR test, all of the close contacts showed negative results following the investigation and contact tracing effort of the municipality.)
The contact tracing effort was done after the 89-year-old patient who died last month tested positive of COVID-19. He was a resident of Barangay Lawis.
