TACLOBAN CITY (PNA) – Alarmed by the spike of cases in Eastern Visayas, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has asked local government officials to heighten the drive against the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).
Since Leyte and Samar areas now fall under the high-risk classification of the World Health Organization, local government units (LGUs) should act immediately to contain the virus spread, said DILG Regional Director Karl Cesar Rimando in an advisory for LGUs posted on Wednesday night, December 30.
