Six elderly residents of Maasin City are now under monitoring after they complained of fever and coughing.
But Dr. Franscila Tan, head of the City Health Department, said that this should not be a cause for alarm.
“Please don’t panic, even we medical workers if we cough or has a fever we become suspects ourselves,” she said. “The six COVID-19 suspects are all senior citizens and one of them is 100 years old,” Tan said during a virtual press conference on Tuesday, April 21, 2020.
