April 17, 2020 – Two of the city’s Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients yesterday stepped out and identified themselves to help in contact tracing.
Mayor Benjamin Magalong said Jonover David, the 33-year old nurse at the Baguio General Hospital and resident of Woodsgate Subdivision Camp 7 and Albert Bumal-o, the 77-year old male stroke patient from Maria Basa St. Pacdal who were diagnosed with the disease agreed to cooperate with the government in its effort to save lives by revealing their identities.
Most of David’s activities were confined at his home and at the hospital as duty nurse at the Medical Intensive Care Unit/Coronary Care Unit of the BGHMC except for a meeting at a friend’s house on April 1. Meanwhile, Bumal-o also stayed at home most of the time.
Most of their contacts had been traced but they are encouraging persons whom they had contact with to go on self-quarantine and seek medical help if they develop symptoms.
