Quezon town health worker infected with COVID-19
LUCENA CITY –– Another health worker from Quezon province has been infected by the SARS-Cov2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
The local government of Infanta town reported on its Facebook Thursday noon that the locality’s only active virus carrier is a “health worker assigned at the quarantine facility.”
The patient, a 45-year-old woman from Barangay Lual, is “asymptomatic” and is in isolation.
The report said the patient submitted herself to a routine swab test as “frontliner” on June 22. The “positive” laboratory test result came out on June 25.
The report did not provide details on how the patient contracted the disease since the locality has no more active COVID-19 cases.
Before the result of the latest validated virus carrier came out, Infanta had two recorded COVID-19 cases. One of them had recovered and the other passed away.
The municipality listed 31 “suspects” and two “probable” cases of COVID-19 on June 10, but at least 21 of them had been declared cleared and recovered.
