IKINATUWA ng Palasyo na negatibo si ACT-CIS Rep. Eric Go Yap matapos umanong magkamali ang
Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) sa naunang ipinalabas na resulta.
“We are pleased to hear about the the COVID-19 negative test of of Cong. Eric Yap. While the erroneous reporting of Cong Yap’s COVID-19 positive has caused alarm and anxiety to those who had close physical contact with him and made them undergo self- quarantine nevertheless such good news is welcome,” sabi ni Presidential Spokesperson at Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo.
Sa isang pahayag, sinabi ng RITM na clerical error ang nangyari.
“We appeal to the RITM to be more certain of the test results before releasing them to the patients or to their doctors to avoid such unfortunate incident,” dagdag ni Panelo.
Samantala, sinabi ni Presidential Security Group Chief Col. Jesus Durante na tuloy pa rin ang self-quarantine sa PSG personnel.
“We are glad that his tests turned out to be negative. Still the directive that all PSG personnel to undergo self-quarantine effective tomorrow remains,” sabi ni Durante.
