Canlas said that for two weeks now, the improvised tent for Covid-19 patients is empty: “Lahat ng pasyente nasa isolation rooms. Maluwag na maluwag kami. Pati mga health workers hindi toxic.”
“Definitely, Covid-19 vaccines helped. Mayor Lazatin’s chief adviser IC Calaguas has mobilized all city government units to take part in this extensive endeavor because the goal is to vaccinate as many as we can as fast as we can. In fact, at one point we vaccinated almost 10,000 individuals in one day,” he enthused.
