In a press statement issued on November 17, DILG Sec. Eduardo M. Año said that as the department gears to complete the targeted numbers of contact tracers, those who have been hired will already work on the ground to aid and intensify the country’s response and contact tracing capabilities, especially at the grassroots level, to counter COVID-19.
Bawat isa sa 11 barangay ng Rizal ay tinalagahan ng isang contact tracer upang tumulong sa mga frontliner sa pagpapatupad ng mga health protocol at information drives para maiwasan ang pagkalat ng COVID-19.
Ayon kay Coralyn Atienza, ang DILG officer ng LGU Brooke's Point, 22 slots ang nakalaan sa bayan ng Brooke's Point maliban pa sa iba't-ibang bayan sa buong MIMAROPA.
