Sunday Masses and other religious services have again been suspended as Baguio deals with a spike in coronavirus disease infections.
The sharp increase was the result of “active surveillance,” when the city health services office began testing 10 percent of various Baguio sectors to draw out the real scope of local contamination, said Dr. Cecilia Brillantes, deputy city health officer, during a Tuesday briefing.
The medical community plans to study if Baguio’s high altitude was a factor in the number of asymptomatic patients, said Dr. Donabelle Tubera-Panes, the city epidemiologist. The city government should consider including home consumption in the ban because of transmission cases that occurred during indoor drinking parties, Brillantes said.
