LAGAWE,
Ifugao - - With the four recorded coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) confirmed
cases last week in this capital town,
the provincial government strengthened enforcement of health protocols on
border checkpoints and offices.
All
entry and exit points of the province are now fully manned by frontliners to
implement the health protocols to avoid the entry or spread of Covid-19 in
municipalities of the province.
In an
advisory, Gov. Jerry Dalipog stated that after observation and study of the
data from those tested positive, it was found out that almost all the cases are
persons with travel history to other places.
“To prevent
further local transmission of COVID-19 infection, all travellers who went to
and from outside the province most especially from hotspot areas are ordered to
submit themselves to their respective municipal health officers for health
protocols before they will be brought to designated quarantine areas,” Dalipog
added.
The governor
urged cooperation of national agencies particularly whose clients come from
outside the province like local courts and post office to get the basic
information about an individual for contact tracing.
Offices were
also urged to establish a handwashing area within the vicinity of their
offices, disinfection at entrances before transactions start, strictly
implement wearing of face mask, and observe social distance and proper coughing
etiquette. (JDP/MBL- PIA CAR, Ifugao)
