OFW from Germany tests positive after violating quarantine in Aklan

An overseas Filipino worker (OFW) from Germany who tested negative for COVID-19 in Manila later tested positive after returning to Aklan, violating the 14-day quarantine.

The OFW went around the province despite not completing the quarantine period and is currently being treated at the Aklan Provincial Hospital.

Contact tracing is underway for areas visited by the OFW.

Another OFW in Saudi Arabia who tested positive for COVID-19 was reportedly dismissed by their employer and left stranded on the street, pleading for help.
