Mayor Sara told to halt quarantine, cleared as PUM
Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio has ended her voluntary self-quarantine after being cleared by the City Health Office.
The decision to end her isolation was based on a review of CCTV footage showing Senator Sherwin Gatchalian was not in close contact with a COVID-19 positive individual.
Mayor Duterte-Carpio had entered self-quarantine after attending a lunch meeting with Gatchalian, who later announced his own self-quarantine.
The household employee who initially felt unwell was diagnosed with tonsillitis and is recovering.
Mayor Duterte-Carpio expressed optimism that the city will overcome the health emergency and assured that preparations are underway for possible COVID-19 patients.
She also advised the public not to panic and to avoid hoarding of goods.
