According to Dr. Chris Sorongon, Bacolod Emergency Operations Center deputy for medical data and analysis, those infected with the Delta variant involved a 32-year-old hospital health care worker from Barangay Singcang, and a 31-year-old unemployed Sum-ag resident.
Both were symptomatic.
The Singcang resident had a fever, cough and allergic rhinitis, while the Sum-ag resident had a fever, cough, and a sore throat.
Both have recovered from COVID-19 but will be retested for the virus and their residences will be locked down in compliance with Department of Health rules, Sorongon said.
