Bulacan, magtatayo ng quarantine facility para alisin sa bahay ang mga PUI ng COVID-19
Bulacan Governor Daniel Fernando has ordered the immediate construction of a central quarantine facility for persons under investigation (PUI) for COVID-19, set to begin operations on April 6.
The new facility, located near the Bulacan Medical Center in Malolos, will serve as a staging area to isolate PUIs from their homes and prevent further spread.
Governor Fernando emphasized the need to remove PUIs from their households to curb potential transmissions.
He also called on the Department of Health to establish regional COVID-19 testing centers to expedite the identification and testing of PUIs.
Bulacan is currently in a state of calamity, with 18 confirmed COVID-19 cases, 270 PUIs, and over 2,000 persons under monitoring.
