Province of Cavite - In line with the province's efforts againts coronovirus disease (COVID)-19, the provincial government is set to launch testing program for persons under investigation (PUIs).
"The province will launch its own Testing Program by the end of next week which will be used to screen all PUIs in Cavite," Gov. Remulla announced.
The testing program is in accordance with the Department of Health's requirements that testing should be done in a hospital facility though there is no statement as to which hospital yet.
Gov. Remulla further explained that with this new development the number of positive cases in the province will surge because more PUIs will be tested.
This is a good news as this will result to more recoveries because more patients will be treated properly with the right care and medication.
On the other hand, Gov. Jonvic expressed his concern that,"12 days is unrealistic for the quarantine to end," with the quarantine period now on the third week.
Meanwhile, other measures like the disinfectant program are still being conducted thru the Bureau of Fire Protection in all the cities and municipalities in the province.
Talking about the issue of the National Government's Social Amelioration Program, the Governor stated that there are still no guidelines to implement the program.
Nevertheless, he assured that everyone would be included, even the middle class residing in subdivisions could avail of this benefit from the government.
"Pinaglalaban ko po na lahat, kahit nakatira sa subdivision, ay recipient ng pangako ng national government," Gov. Remulla declared. (Ruel Francisco, PIA-Cavite with reports from the official Facebook page of Governor Jonvic Remulla)
