Novel Corona Virus scares many Filipinos in the country. It has alarmed all ports of entry to contain the virus according to DOH Sec. Francisco T. Duque III, "We are doing our precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the deadly virus". Duque also added, during the press briefing last January 30, 2020, that although our main ports of entry have been well monitored, there are still places that this virus can enter the country.
There are several areas in Mindanao, particularly the Sulu areas where illegal entries are going on. It has resulted to one (1) particular case in Lamitan City, Basilan which is now being monitored.
The virus may have now entered our Southern parts but still the DOH reminds the public never to get panick. The authorities are now tracing the people and students, where the said patient is currently studying, that may have contacted with the virus.
Alih Gracia, who is currently working at FCI Administration Office, reiterated that the contracted student is now being isolated. They are doing as much as possible to controll the situation. Likewise, he also added that the LGU is doing its best to maintain the tranquility of the city.
