Quiapo Church is temporarily closed to the public until July 4 after a priest who resided there tested positive for COVID-19.
The priest, who had been staying at the church for three months, initially tested negative for a rapid test before traveling to Mindanao.
Upon arrival in Mindanao, both rapid and swab tests confirmed the priest was positive for COVID-19.
However, Monsignor Hernando Coronel announced that all Quiapo priests and 81 street dwellers sheltered by the church have since tested negative for COVID-19 via rapid antibody testing.
Despite the negative results for those within the church, the premises are undergoing disinfection and are still closed to the public as a precautionary measure.
All priests and staff within Quiapo Church are currently undergoing self-quarantine.
