The city inter-agency task force against the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) intercepted a bus with an Australian national and a Filipino companion on board at the border of Bacolod and Talisay cities yesterday. Bacolod Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran, chair of the city’s inter-agency task force against the novel coronavirus disease (COVI-19) yesterday said the foreign national and his companion came from Cadiz City. They left Manila last March 14 taking a bus to Batangas and arrived in Kalibo during the weekend. Familiaran said the two plan to proceed to Sipalay but were asked to return to their place of origin. He said the total persons under investigation (PUIs) in Bacolod City remains at 11 while the total persons under monitoring (PUMs) has reached 410. BACOLOD REMAINS COVID-FREE On Tuesday, the mayor issued Executive Order No. 22 or “An order for the Implementing Rules and Regulations of E.O. 21, series of 2020,” which include the establishments of check-up points in strategic areas in the city under the sound determination of the police, assisted by the Philippine Army and the Bacolod City Health Office, to check vehicular/pedestrian traffic for effective control of the quarantine measures. Starting Friday persons from out-of-town should present company IDs or pertinent documents upon entering Bacolod City. The E.O. also ordered the observance of stringent social distancing. This was implemented during the 38th regular session of the Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod of Bacolod City yesterday as a precautionary measure against the spread of COVID-19. Familiaran said that starting yesterday all technical assistants and staff of the city councilors will be prevented from entering the session hall. They can only be contacted by the councilors through text messaging. The sitting arrangements of the councilors were also adjusted in compliance to the order of the mayor to observe social distancing. Familiaran said the SP session can be viewed through facebook live in the page of the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Bacolod City.* BY CHRYSEE G. SAMILLANO
