THE NUMBER of active Covid cases in Zamboanga has spiked with new infections mostly from residents who returned home and those who are authorized or allowed to travel, and prisoners.
From a little over 100, the active Covid cases now is more than 140 with majority getting the deadly respiratory disease from the community, according to the City Health Office.
City Health Officer Dr. Dulce Amor Miravite said 25 patients are admitted in hospitals and the rest in different isolation facilities maintained by the local government.
Mayor Beng Climaco again appealed to residents to strictly follow the health protocols and community quarantine guidelines. “Como siempre tiene cuidao, maskin donde, maskin cuando. Compli maga reglamento de Covid protocols - usa el face mask y face shield, firmi lava mano y mantene distancia fisika y esta protegido contra el coronavirus,” she said.
But despite Climaco’s almost daily reminders and appeals, many residents are defiant and undisciplined, making it even more difficult for authorities to enforce the guidelines and the local laws.
Climaco said she even observed that many residents flagrantly
disregard the health protocols and do not wear face mask and face shield in
public places, and others violate curfew law.
“Adhering to quarantine guidelines and minimum health
standards will be our simple contribution to our fight against Covid-19. Tiene
cuidao firmi y segui con el maga reglamento y protocol para evita con el
Covid,” she said. (Zamboanga Post)
