Mass testing ng COVID-19 sisimulan sa Abril 14
INIHAYAG kagabi ni COVID-19 czar Secretary Carlito Galvez, Jr. na sisimulan na ang mass testing ng coronavirus sa bansa sa Abril 14, 2020.
“We are also determined to fast track the accreditation of subnational laboratories so we can start the massive testing of PUIs and PUMs. We expect that by April 14, we shall be able start massive testing. This will allow us to identify the COVID-19 carriers, isolate and treat them,” sabi ni Galvez.
Kasabay nito, sinabi ni Galvez na nakausap na rin niya ang presidente ng Indian Commerce kung saan tiniyak nito ang pagbili ng anim na milyong face masks na ikakalat sa Mercury Drug at Watsons na mabibili ng publiko sa mababang presyo.
“Within the next 10 days, we hope to convert the Rizal Complex, World Trade Center, Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) as quarantine facilities. We’ll also deploy three doctors and 50 nurses at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex,” dagdag ni Galvez.
Ayon pa kay Galvez, nakikipag-ugnayan na rin siya sa Iglesia ni Cristo para magamit ang Philippine Arena sa Bulacan bilang quarantine area.
“In addition the above-mentioned facilities, we are also looking into the possibility of converting the Quezon Institute, Philippine Sports Complex (ULTRA), Duty Free Philippines-Parañaque, Amoranto Sports Complex, Quezon City Memorial Complex, and Veteran’s Medical Center Complex into quarantine and isolation facilities,” pagtiyak ni Galvez.
Tiniyak din ng Commission on Higher Education (CHED) ang pagpapagamit sa convention center nito sa Bicol bilang quarantine facility, ayon pa kay Galvez.
“We have now 8 accredited hospitals we are asking DOH to expediet other hospitals nationwide,” sabi pa ni Galvez.
