STO. DOMINGO, Nueva Ecija – Wearing of face shield has been made mandatory in all public places in this municipality per an executive order issued by Mayor Imee Llado-De Guzman.
Signed on August 10, EO 034 provides for a two-week information dissemination before the penalties as provided for by a municipal ordinance shall be imposed.
“Due to the increasing number of cases of Covid-19 in the province of Nueva Ecija, including nearby towns and to prevent the transmission and spread of the virus, the said order was enacted,” explained the local government in a notice.
As of the time of issuance though, this town has only one active Covid-19 case. No local transmission has so far been reported here.
Meanwhile, the Nueva Ecija inter agency task force reported seven new confirmed Covid-19 cases, including a health worker, from different municipalities on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old male health care worker from Barangay San Pablo, Aliaga was asymptomatic and currently under hospital quarantine, said the NEIATF report.
Two of the new cases were from Cabanatuan City while the other patients came from Jaen, Sto. Domingo, Bongabon, and San Isidro.
Nueva Ecija has 124 recoveries, 151 actives cases, and 14 deaths of Covid-19.
