Covid-19 Task Force Spokesperson Dr. Michelle Schlosser said in a radio interview that the Covid-19 Cluster Clinic, located at Doña Vicenta Village in Bajada, is a one-stop-shop area for Covid-19 concerns.

Schlosser said the services offered for free include contact tracing, triaging, management in terms of treatment, isolation, and swabbing for suspected, probable, or confirmed Covid-19 cases.

“Kung naa ta mga pasyente na (If we would have a) Covid-19 suspect, probable, and even confirmed cases, naa na didto tanan (all the offered services is already there),” she said in an interview on 87.5 FM Davao City Disaster Radio.

In a Facebook post, the City Government said this is the first of eight cluster clinics to be established to boost Covid-19 response.

It will be open to the public starting Monday, December 6, 2021.

Schlosser said the Cluster Clinic is part of the City’s Covid-19 strategy in anticipation of the possible surge of cases.
