The DOH Bicol has stepped up its monitoring of Albay residents in temporary shelters to curb the spread of the viral disease after two evacuees in Daraga town tested positive for COVID-19 early this week.
Dr. Ernie Vera, DOH regional director in Bicol, said in an online interview on Thursday that they were expecting a possible increase in the number of evacuees contracting diseases because of the crowded rooms and the extreme heat while Mayon Volcano remains on alert level 3.“We don’t want to have an abnormal increase in cases in evacuation centers because we know it’s basically preventable,” Vera said.
On Wednesday, the DOH reported that a 12-year-old boy, an evacuee from Daraga, tested positive for COVID-19 after he was exposed to an 82-year-old woman who contracted the viral disease on June 18.
