Positibo sa COVID-19 ang Baguio City mayor at contact tracing czar na si Benjamin Magalong, ayon sa kanyang Facebook post noong Sabado.
Saad ni Magalong, “It is with a sad note that I would like to inform everyone that as of my RT-PCR test conducted yesterday morning (April 2, 2021), to which my results came out at 4:30pm of the same day, I was tested positive of the Covid-19 virus.” Aniya ay nagsasagawa na rin ng contact tracing para sa mga nakahalubilo niya.
Pahayag pa ni Magalong, “Contact tracing efforts are underway for those whom I have come into close contact with. I also strongly advise everybody to observe the minimum health standards.”
Dagdag pa ni Magalong, “Indeed, this news came out as a devastating blow for me and my family. The seriousness of this pandemic is something that we should not take for granted. It is a difficult situation and I don’t want anyone of you to be in this condition as it is emotionally, psychologically and financially difficult for our loved ones to bear.
“However, despite the predicament I am in, please be rest assured that we are still monitoring closely the City’s situation and coordinating to the proper authorities the necessary things to be done.”
Samantala, nanawagan din si Magalong sa publiko na sumunod sa mga ipinatutupad na health protocols ngayong panahon ng pandemya.
