The virus can easily spread in dense places — in a packed subway car, for example, or at a rally or concert.

Social distancing refers to measures that are taken to increase the physical space between people to slow the spread of the virus. Examples include working from home, school closures and the postponement or cancellation of mass gatherings, such as graduation/commencement exercises, conferences, seminars, trainings, workshops, religious, political and social assemblies.

By maintaining a distance of six feet from others when possible, people may limit the spread of the virus.

Dr. Ramon Nery, chief of hospital of JR Borja General Hospital, encouraged communities to patronize health centers. He added that JR Borja Hospita is prepared for the surge of possible patients in the Out-Patient department.

Medical officers are already instructed to be in their posts in their respective barangays. Supplies of drugs and medicines will also be made available. - Dr. Lorraine Nery, Officer in Charge City Health Office

SADNESS. Mayor Oscar Moreno expressed his sadness upon learning that the male patient inflicted with COVID-19 had passed away last night even as he thanked officials and medical personnel from the Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) and the Department of Health (DOH) for doing their utmost best to make the patient survive the infectious disease.
