Año self-quarantines after Rep Yap tests positive for COVID-19

Interior Secretary Eduardo Año has begun a self-quarantine as a precautionary measure after attending a meeting with ACT-CIS party-list Representative Eric Yap, who has since tested positive for COVID-19.

Año stated that he consulted with the Department of Health (DOH) and decided to work from home as a precaution.

He clarified that during the meeting last Saturday, Representative Yap was wearing a mask, and Año himself also wore a mask throughout the duration, except briefly during a photo opportunity.

Año confirmed he had no physical contact with Representative Yap and is not experiencing any flu-like symptoms.

He also noted that Representative Yap should have declared himself as a person under investigation (PUI) and should not have attended the meeting.
