The whole area of Sitio Zapatera in Barangay Luz in Cebu City has been contaminated with COVID-19, according to a city health officer.
A city health officer in Cebu said that the whole area of Sitio Zapatera in Barangay Luz has been contaminated with the coronavirus disease.
This, as Daisy Villa, the city health officer in Cebu, said that the city health department will stop the massive swab testing in the said sitio in Barangay Luz, adding that this was the Department of Health’s recommendation considering that the whole area was already considered as an “infected” sitio in the city.
Last April 15, the Cebu City Health Department got two hundred (200) swab samples from people living in the sitio. Cebu City Health Officer Daisy Villa said that this would be the last batch of samples taken in the said area.
Villa also said that the whole sitio in Barangay Luz would still be strictly monitored, adding that the CHD will only focus on getting samples in areas in the said city where there were confirmed coronavirus cases.
As of April 16, 2020, the said sitio has recorded a total of fifty-three (53) confirmed COVID-19 cases, where fifty-one (51) of these cases were asymptomatic.
