An LSI from Iloilo had reportedly escaped the mandatory quarantine and attended child’s birthday party in Murcia.
A locally-stranded individual (LSI) from Iloilo had reportedly escaped the mandatory quarantine and decided to attend the birthday party of his child in Murcia.
This, as Murcia Mayor Gerry Rojas said that the incident happened last week wherein the said individual arrived in Bacolod City.
Under the quarantine measures of the Provincial Government, individuals who had a residency that was located outside of Bacolod City were required to undergo Reverse Transcription – Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) tests at the BREDCO port and undergo mandatory quarantine until their results were released.
However, Rojas revealed that the said individual took his RT-PCR test and went to his child’s birthday party that was also attended by four people – including Murcia’s patient #11.
