BSP governor Diokno tests negative for COVID-19

BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno tested negative for COVID-19 and will attend the Monetary Board's rate-setting meeting on Thursday.

Diokno went into self-quarantine after being exposed to a person who later tested positive for COVID-19 during an inspection of the North Luzon Expressway Harbor Link C3-R10 section on March 5, which was also attended by President Duterte.

The BSP emphasized that the health of Monetary Board members is crucial for financial system stability during the pandemic and urged cooperation with national efforts to control the spread of COVID-19.
