The University of the Philippines (UP) Mindanao has proposed a diagnostic program on free testing for COVID-19, stressing the importance of increasing the testing capacity in Davao Region to contain the spread of the disease.
The enhanced community quarantine in Bukidnon has led to closing its road borders to non-residents, as a measure to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (Covid-19) since starting Saturday (March 21) as ordered by Governor Jose Maria Zubiri.
In the wake of the community quarantine and lockdown being implemented by local government units all over Mindanao due to the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) threat, bus companies and other public transport providers in Region 10 continue to operate within the region.
The Department of Health confirmed two cases of novel coronavirus (Covid-19) infection in Davao City, while two persons under investigation who died this week tested negative of the virus.
The government's response to the Covid-19 outbreak, from community quarantine to its budget prioritizing less on test kits, has drawn response from the labor group Kilusang Mayo Uno.
