CEBU CITY, Philippines — The province of Bohol now awaits the results of at least 163 swab samples that they have forwarded to the subnational laboratory Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center

Dr. Yul Lopez, Bohol’s COVID-19 spokesperson, said the swab samples were from the 65 repatriated overseas Filipino workers who arrived in the province last week, 11 medical workers and police and other personnel who had contact with the OFWs and 87 influenza-like illness patients from its 48 component local government units.

“We are ready. Kung naay magpositibo, we will be accepting the fact nga naay magpositibo…Ang mas important niini, aduna na tay sistema, aduna tay airtight nga mga protocols, aduna tay andam nga mga pasilidad, isolation units, including protective equipment para sa atong frontliners,” Lopez said. Municipal and city health officers in its component LGUs will assess their ILI patients and decide for the collection of swab samples for COVID-19 testing.

The province of Bohol also has 14,000 pieces of personal protective equipment in stock for its medical and security frontline workers.
