SunStar File January 21, 2021 A POLICE officer who was assigned at the Basilica del Sto. Niño in downtown Cebu City has tested positive for the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).
City Councilor Joel Garganera, deputy chief implementer of the city’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC), said the result came out on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2021, a day after she was swabbed.
Garganera said the police officer was experiencing symptoms of the disease, which prompted her to undergo the test at the Regional Health Services 7.
In a press conference, Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) Director Col. Josefino Ligan said contact tracers are still trying to determine where the police officer contracted the disease, considering that devotees had already been barred from entering the basilica when her symptoms manifested.
