+ June 18, 2021 PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte lauded the Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas (Opav) for the creation of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Manual for Covid-19 Response at the city and municipal level.
In a message, he congratulated OPAV for publishing the manual that is “designed to help the local implementers of our COVID-19 response in the Visayas, (and) will truly standardize our procedures in combatting this disease.”
EOC was established in Cebu when the surge of cases occurred in 2020. In June 2020, Cebu was dubbed as the epicenter for Covid-19 since it had the greatest number of cases in the entire country at the time.
March 05, 2021 THE Cristina Lee Dino Foundation (CLDF), through the Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas (OPAV), donated on Monday, March 1, 2021, two reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to Siquijor Province and the Department of Health 7.
According to CLDF, the additional machines will accelerate the testing capacity for coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) in Central Visayas.
The RT-PCR machine donated for Siquijor will be placed in its first Siquijor Molecular Laboratory.
This laboratory will be completed in two months, but it will take another two to three months before it can start operations because medical technologists still need to be trained, said the Department of Public Works and Highways 7.
