Pangasinan residents are being urged to celebrate the holiday season safely due to the threat of COVID-19.

Dr. Anna Ma Teresa De Guzman, PHO chief, advises against gatherings like reunions and drinking sessions, emphasizing the risk of virus transmission through singing in karaoke.

Governor Amado Espino III reminds Pangasinenses to follow health protocols during festivities to prevent further spread of the virus.

Espino encourages residents to stay home if necessary and maintain discipline for everyone's safety, noting a gradual increase in active cases as people return from other areas for the holidays.
