THE Angeles City Government has recorded 33 coronavirus disease (Covid-19) cases, as of July 7, 2020.
Mayor Carmelo "Pogi" Lazatin Jr. said they are monitoring an additional two active cases, bringing the total Covid-19 patients in the city to four.
"Nakakalungkot man pong ibalita sa ating mga kababayan, may dalawang active case na naman tayo. Kaya ang total active cases po natin sa ngayon ay apat, isa po sa Barangay Margot at isa naman sa Barangay Santo Domingo at frontliner po yung isa," the mayor said.
Lazatin said that 25 of the 33 patients had recovered and four died of the coronavirus disease.
At present, the local chief executive added that there are 56 persons who are under quarantine at the City College of Angeles.
"Kaya naman po dumarami ito ay marami tayong LSIs (locally stranded individuals) na dumating at iyong ibang mga pamilya po ng mga nag-positive. Dinadala po natin sila diyan kaya po dumadami ang nasa quarantine facility natin," Lazatin said.
The mayor said he ordered the rapid testing and the closure of Pampang Public Market after a vendor died of the virus.
Lazatin said the public market has already reopened but its management is enforcing minimum health standards in adherence to the guidelines of the Department of Health and the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases.
"Lahat po ng mga vendors natin diyan, hindi lang naman ang mga stall owners. Kasama din po yung mga nagtitinda nila, 1,500 na po yung na-test. Out of 1,500, lima po yung nag-confirm natin na IGM kaya yan poay pina-swab natin," Lazatin said.
He disclosed none of the vendors who underwent swab examination had tested positive of Covid-19.
