In his COVID summary report on May 5, Sotto said Pasig has 932 active cases which means one in every 1,000 individuals in Pasig gets infected with the virus.
“Clear downtrend but numbers still alarming,” Sotto said.
The mayor said the city’s COVID Referral Center is still “almost full” while its temporary holding area “still has some space.”
Sotto, meanwhile, encouraged Pasig residents to help in slowing down the spread of COVID-19.
