Dr. Rhodora Tingson, municipal health office (MHO) chief in this southern town, said that the latest cases were returnees from the National Capital Region (NCR), including a 31-year-old male (Patient No. 7), a five-year-old female (Patient No. 8), and a 25-year-old female (Patient No. 9).
The apparatus, which was unveiled to the public on June 30, includes an air-conditioned tent, power generator, rapid deployable CCTV camera, a TV monitor, communication supply, electric lights, and a mobile trailer.
Dr. Dean Palanca, city incident commander, said the patient is a 27-year-old female resident of Brgy. Sta. Monica, who is not a close contact of any previously reported confirmed cases in Puerto Princesa.
Dr. Audie Cipriano, chief of the medical professional staff of the ONP, told Palawan News Sunday that the facility is presently "undermanned" as contact tracing had forced them to quarantine key personnel.
