LAPU-LAPU CITY, Philippines — The Lapu-Lapu City government has made an appeal to the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) not to place the city
The city, along with 9 cities in the country, was first recommended by the IATF to be placed to alert level 3 starting on Sunday, January 9, 2021, due to an increase of coronavirus disease 2019 cases.
Lawyer Misaellee Tejano, executive secretary of Mayor Junard “Ahong” Chan, however, explained that their encoder had made a mistake in filling up the Department of Health ’s Collect Tracker. Tejano clarified that for the past two weeks, hospitals within the city had no longer had COVID-19 positive patients admitted.“Since last year sige gyud og tawag ang among attention on the critical care utilization in the city, and we’ve always been telling them nga gamay ra man gud among hospital sa Lapu-lapu City, tulo ra kabuok. Pila ra man pod among total beds compared to the total population. But now we know nga duna diay sayop on how we declare our data,” she added.
