“It is with a heavy heart that we announce our 8th confirmed case of COVID-19,” House Secretary General Jose Luis Montales said in a message sent to House members, officials, and employees late Friday night.According to Montales, the concerned legislative staff stayed in Quezon City from June 17 to 23.
He said the two employees are a couple, one of whom is assigned to the Printing Office, while the other is employed at the Engineering Department.“Protocols for handling positive cases and their close contacts are being observed. Let’s pray for our co-employees’ recovery,” Montales said. “The employee was admitted again after testing positive, though has been asymptomatic since,” Montales said.
