MMDA's Garcia, Pialago self-quarantine over COVID-19 contact
Two Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) officials, Assistant Secretary Celine Pialogo and General Manager Jose Arturo Garcia, are undergoing self-quarantine after being exposed to a COVID-19-positive individual.
The exposure occurred two weeks prior to their decision to self-quarantine, and they are adhering to health protocols to prevent further spread of the virus.
Pialago stated that she is self-quarantining as she attended a meeting with someone who later tested positive for COVID-19, and GM Garcia was also present at the same meeting.
She urged individuals they may have come into contact with to also self-quarantine due to potential risk.
Pialago mentioned she has not been tested for COVID-19 as she is asymptomatic, and testing is currently prioritized for those showing symptoms.
