+ May 10, 2021 The Covid-19 infection in Cebu City has gone down significantly lately although not in the same level as in September to December last year when the number of cases reported daily was in single digits. Between February to March this year, the daily infection rate moved dangerously upward, consistently hitting the hundreds. Starting in late March, the numbers settled at double digits.
What is remarkable is that the city government managed to control the spread of the virus on their own unlike last year when Manila dispatched retired generals and additional troops and hardware to contain a raging outbreak. Obviously, our people whose cavalier behavior was condemned as largely responsible for our becoming the center of the epidemic in the country, have learned their lesson and behaved more responsibly.
