CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – “Stubborn” COVID-19-positive patients and their close contacts may face charges for not cooperating with the local government unit (LGU) in its pandemic response, the City Health Office (CHO) warned on Wednesday.
Dr. Lorraine Nery, CHO acting head, said the LGU would issue a public advisory a few days from now stating the legal provisions for those uncooperative individuals where they may face charges under Republic Act 11332 or the “Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseases and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act”.
Although the law has been in place since the onset of the pandemic, Nery said it is about time to put teeth in enforcing it because the city is placed under modified enhanced community quarantine due to the surge in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases.
