NEGROS Occidental Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson called on Negrenses, especially those traveling during the Holy Week break, to remain vigilant and observe health protocols as active Covid-19 cases continue to rise in the country. "To all the Negrenses, please be reminded that the number of Covid-19 cases in the country is increasing by the hour, that we in the Provincial Government are doing everything to contain the spread in our province," Lacson said. "I am urging everyone, especially those who are traveling to be mindful of their actions and practice the mandated health protocols with purposeful vigilance, not with foolhardy efforts meant to comply in form but not in substance," the governor said. "Remember that the nature of the virus and the mode of its transmission remain the same," he pointed out. Lacson said that "people are still the carriers of the Covid-19 virus, hence, let us use our highest form of discretion and caution in our actions and conduct."
