BAGUIO CITY, Philippines – Ifugao admits its first positive case of COVID-19 Saturday afternoon, April 25.
According to Dalipog, the patient did not travel outside Lamut, the capital town on Ifugao but he has been confined repeatedly at the Panopdopan District Hospital for chronic heart problems and pneumonia.Dalipog said that the man was a friend of a suspected COVID-19 patient who recently died but apparently of a different cause.
The Department of Health Cordillera actually recorded two patients from Ifugao as positive of COVID-19 but the other patient was a nurse who is stationed in a hospital in Santiago City and so the case was later recorded there. He said that the provincial task force suggested measures like contact tracing, identification of high-risk health workers and quarantining. Disinfection and limiting operations at the hospital will be undertaken.
