DUMAGUETE CITY — Five confirmed cases of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have tested negative in repeat tests, according to assistant provincial health officer Liland Estacion.

These patients included an 11-year-old girl from Sibulan town, a 58-year-old male from Vallehermoso town, a 42-year-old male overseas Filipino worker (OFW) and a 25-year-old male both from Mabinay town, and the 39-year-old female from Dumaguete City.

Since they were all asymptomatic, four were recommended by the Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (RESU) to be released from isolation and be subjected to strict home quarantine.
