City mayor Lucilo Bayron, who led the program launch on Thursday morning, said that these COVID-19 marshals will be in-charge in the implementation of a "friendly persuasion" reminder to the residents of Puerto Princesa on the public health standards under MGCQ, including the wearing of face masks and maintaining physical distancing.
It was approved on Tuesday after board member Juan Antonio Alvarez' privilege speech on the reported COVID-19 local transmission case in Coron and formal proposal to the legislative body.
Of the active cases, 18 are in Puerto Princesa, 13 are in Cuyo, seven are in Taytay, five are in Roxas, four are in Coron, three are in Quezon, two are in Brooke’s Point, one is in Araceli, one is in Culion, one is in Dumaran, one is in Aborlan, and one is in Agutaya.
Ayon kay Dr. Leo Salvino, ang municipal health officer ng Roxas, dapat ay wala munang kontak o interaksyon ang mga locally stranded individuals (LSIs) at returning overseas Filipinos (ROFs) na nag-graduate na sa kanilang quarantine kung hindi naman kailangan.
Ang bayan ng Balabac at ng Narra ay ang mga natatanging munisipyo sa southern part ng Palawan na zero cases matapos na may mga naitala ng kaso sa Quezon, Rizal, Brooke's Point, Sofronio Española at Bataraza noong mga nakalipas na buwan hanggang ngayon.
