Councilman Joel Garganera, EOC’s deputy director of implementation, said this increase had been alarming as there were more cases than recoveries.
“These data serve as a warning, (to) our government, PNP, barangays. Front-line people can only do so much. We need the cooperation of the entire population. If other first world countries with far superior health services experienced a second wave (of COVID-91 cases), lockdowns, how much more would we. What good will our profits be if a few continue to violate our health protocols, ”Garganera said.
The EOC urges facilities to be more compliant with health protocols and residents to be more vigilant when leaving.
