NEGROS Occidental has no more health protocols in relation to coronavirus disease (Covid-19) for the start of the summer season and the Panaad sa Negros Festival in April, said Provincial Administrator Rayfrando Diaz II.

Diaz said the province is back to normal, so there is no need for strict health and safety protocols.

"All restrictions are lifted," Diaz said, with the expected arrival of tourists in the province during the Holy Week season and Panaad Festival.

He also said that there is only one patient confined at the Cadiz District Hospital, the remaining Covid-19 facility in the province.
