COVID cases, 2K mahigit na, Palawan, nasa state of calamity

Isinailalim sa state of calamity ang Palawan noong Miyerkules dahil sa paglobo ng kaso ng COVID-19, ayon sa Provincial Public Information Office (PIO).


Noong June 9, nakapagtala ang Palawan ng 2,060 kabuuang bilang ng kaso ng COVID-19 kung saan 620 ang active cases at 34 ang pumanaw.


Sa isang teleradyo interview, ayon kay Palawan PIO Chief Winston Arzaga, lumobo ang kaso ng COVID-19 nang payagan ng Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) ang mga leisure activites sa naturang lugar ng mga biyahero mula sa NCR Plus.


Saad pa ni Arzaga, “The first reason is… if you remember, the national IATF loosened restrictions and inbound travelers arrived in Puerto Princesa and other areas without quarantine.


“After this, cases suddenly rose… because there’s no quarantine… so they arrived in Puerto Princesa and then visited other tourist destinations.”


Ayon kay Arzaga, noong hindi pa niluluwagan ang travel restrictions, umaabot lamang sa 100 hanggang 200 na kaso ng COVID-19 ang kanilang naitatala.


Samantala, dahil sa paglobo ng kaso ng COVID-19, muling ipinagbawal ng local government ang pagbisita ng publiko sa mga tourist spots.


Aniya pa, “Our LGUs are tightening their borders. Visiting is not encouraged, especially in El Nido, Coron, and San Vicente… it’s somewhat strict.”
