2 PUIs sa Tarlac, pumanaw bago pa lumabas ang resulta ng COVID-19 test
Two persons under investigation for COVID-19 in Tarlac have died before their test results were released.
Governor Susan Yap stated that both individuals were elderly and were admitted to hospitals on Monday, passing away hours later.
One of the deceased was a bus driver who had traveled from Metro Manila to Tarlac before the community quarantine was implemented.
The governor mentioned that both patients had pre-existing health conditions and were not initially admitted due to COVID-19 symptoms.
Despite not showing overt COVID-19 symptoms, health protocols required them to be swabbed and tested due to observable signs like coughing.
As of Wednesday, their swab samples were still being processed by the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM).
