94 PUMs cleared in Zambo Sur, 1 more PUI hospitalized
Seven patients under investigation (PUIs) for COVID-19 in Zamboanga del Sur have been hospitalized, with one more PUI admitted due to deteriorating health conditions.
The province now monitors 6,051 persons under monitoring (PUMs), an increase from the previous count.
However, 94 of these PUMs have been cleared after completing their 14-day quarantine period without exhibiting symptoms.
Provincial Information Officer Jeesrel Himang confirmed these figures, noting that the Zamboanga del Sur Medical Center disinfected its out-patient department after the seventh PUI was treated there.
