Another four residents in Bien Unido town have tested positive for the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).
Governor Arthur Yap said these new patients were residents of Malingin Island.
They had no travel history. They were not locals stranded nor overseas Filipino workers.
Yap said the Malingin Island was placed under lockdown for contact tracing.
“Walay maski usa kanato ang nag-ampo nga matakbuyan sa sakit. Nabasa nako ang mga comment sa post gahapon sa atong gitaho nga nagpositibo. Igo lang ta nipahibaw sa tinuod base sa resulta nga gipahibaw sa PCR Laboratory,” Yap said.
“Kung dili ta motuo sa resulta, unsaon man nato pagtabang ang katawhan aron malikayan ang pagkuyanap sa virus dinhi sa atong lalawigan? Wala ta maghimo ug bakak o fake results. Igo lang ta nisulti sa kamatuoran ug sa tinuod sitwasyon sa atong lalawigan,” he added.
Last Friday, five cases were reported were residents of Malingin Island.
The town also reported one Covid-19 death.
