– The head of this city’s epidemiologist surveillance unit, who was concurrently the assistant city health officer, was sacked after she reportedly allowed a locally stranded individual to attend the wake of his mother at their residence without going through the required 14-day quarantine period.
It was City Councilor Rosalita Nunez, chair of the city council committee on health, who reportedly asked Calonzo to allow the children to attend the wake and funeral of their mother without undergoing the mandatory 14-day quarantine. However, the son of the slain real estate broker, a police officer, was later tested positive for COVID-19.
He said the investigation will also delve on how to enhance the implementation of quarantine protocols being implemented by the local government on how to contain the local transmission of the virus.
