The Department of Health - Cagayan Valley said in a press briefing Saturday, March 21, the man designated as PH275 is a resident of Barangay Caritan Norte in Tuguegarao City. Cabrera said DOH members of the Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit and personnel of the City Health Office of Tuguegarao were now conducting contact tracing."Since Cagayan Valley Medical Center only has the capability to handle the PUIs in the province, all patients will be transferred there from other hospitals to avoid the spread," Dr. Glenn Mathew Baggao, Medical Center Chief, said in Filipino.

Meanwhile, Cabrera urged the public to cooperate with the efforts to locate all persons that need to be traced.
