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.
Their fellow radio staff members also underwent confirmatory tests but no one tested positive for COVID-19.
The two recoveries brought to zero the active cases in the city, Rivera said.
Since March, the city has listed 24 COVID-19 cases, including the lone fatality, a 80-year-old diabetic.
