TUGUEGARO CITY --
Cagayan Gov. Manuel Mamba has expressed alarmed over the increasing number of
Covid-19 cases here. According to Mamba, the local transmission of the coronavirus
has been disturbing in the aftermath of the widespread flooding that was caused
by typhoon Ulysses that displaced thousands of residents in the province.
The Cagayan Provincial Information Office reported early last week 15 residents of Tuguegarao tested positive for Covid-19 on Nov. 20, bringing the number of active cases to 133.
Of the 133 active cases, 62 are on home quarantine.
Mamba noted most new victims were found to have been infected at home.
The official said there was really a need for those in home quarantine to be transferred to the isolation area.
Mamba suggested to Tuguegarao City Mayor Jefferson Soriano that he put the city under modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) or, if necessary, implement enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) to prevent the continuing increase in the number of COVID-19 positives in the city.
CPIO confirmed there were 477 confirmed cases in Tuguegarao, and five have died due to Covid-19.
