Markets in San Juan and Antipolo closed after vendors test positive for COVID-19

The Agora Market in San Juan and the new public market in Antipolo have been temporarily closed after some vendors tested positive for COVID-19.

In San Juan, one vendor at the Agora Market tested positive, prompting authorities to disinfect the area and isolate close contacts who are undergoing tests.

San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora said patients are being treated in hospitals while results of swab tests are awaited before allowing negative cases to return.
