Laoag City—The
two coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients at the Mariano Marcos Memorial
Hospital and Medical Center (MMMH&MC) have recovered.
MMMH&MC discharged the two patients on April 12,
2020, or on the celebration of the Catholic religion’s Easter Sunday.
According to the MMMH&MC public advisory posted
online on April 11, 2020, two patients’ repeat swab (PCR) tests conducted by
the Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center have tested negative. Currently,
the patients are no longer showing COVID-19 symptoms and are in both in stable
condition.
The provincial government, however, urged the local
government units in charge of the two patients to prepare an isolation area for
the two’s 14-day self-quarantine.
“With no new confirmed transmission of COVID-19 in almost
two weeks since the province’s first cases, we have flattened the curve and
have so far contained the virus,” the Ilocos Norte provincial government announced
through a public advisory posted on its official Facebook Page.
The advisory continues to ask for the cooperation of the
Ilokano community in maintaining a healthy Ilocos Norte. It further reminded
the public to stay at home, exercise at least 30 minutes a day, observe maximum
social distancing measures, and encourage returning residents to not come home
until the lockdown is lifted.
As of 11:00 am of April 12, 2020, the Provincial Health
Office reported that there is no new record of a person under investigation;
and the number of persons under monitoring (PUMs) continues to decline with 429
people still going through the 14-day quarantine, while 11,199 PUMs have
completed their self-quarantine period. (PGIN-CMO)
