4 Davao City market vendors fail Covid screening, rapid tests
Four out of 464 vendors at Davao City's Agdao Public Market failed initial screening and rapid tests for COVID-19.
These vendors were referred for swab tests at Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) for confirmation.
The Agdao Public Market was temporarily closed for seven days starting May 23 for disinfection and further case-finding.
This action was prompted after six individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 indicated potential exposure at the market.
Mayor Sara Duterte attributed an additional 20 COVID-19 cases in the city to the less restrictive general community quarantine (GCQ) measures.
She anticipates a surge in cases in the coming weeks and emphasized the city's efforts in case-finding, contact-tracing, and health screening.
