DAGUPAN CITY – The two employees of a local radio station here who tested positive for the coronavirus disease 2019  (COVID-19) have recovered and were discharged from hospital recently,  local health officials said on Monday.

The patients’ confirmatory tests through the reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction or RT-PCR yielded negative results, according to Ophelia Rivera, the city’s focal person on COVID 19.

Rivera said the radio station employees were both asymptomatic and treated at the Region I Medical Center.
