Valenzuela City will offer free food and accommodation to health workers from Obando, Bulacan, who are working in the city.

Valenzuela Mayor Rex Gatchalian stated that the city welcomes these healthcare providers and will ensure they are well taken care of in a designated facility.
The facility will include amenities such as a charging station, a 24/7 grab-and-go meal counter, mobile showers, an air-conditioned sleeping area, and toiletries.
Obando Mayor Edwin Santos expressed his concern about potential COVID-19 cases in his city due to the lack of adequate medical facilities and funding for patient treatment compared to neighboring cities.
