PDRRMO head Jeremias Alili said the combined PPEs and disinfectants came from the provincial government, the Department of Health (DOH), and those procured by local government units themselves from suppliers in the city.
Dr. Mary Ann Navarro, the provincial health officer (PHO), said Saturday that the rapid test kits can be used in a limited manner, particularly in the management of PUI patients as it can only detect certain antibodies after a patient has developed mild or moderate symptoms.
