Six staffers of South Cotabato Gov. Reynaldo Tamayo Jr. tested positive for SARS Cov2, the virus that causes Covid-19, just a few days after the governor got infected.

Tamayo on Sunday announced he tested positive for the virus after he had close contact with a carrier last Feb. 16.

Aturdido said relatives and friends of the six employees of the governor’s office have been informed so they can take precautionary measures and go on self-quarantine. Aturdido said he talked to Tamayo, who said he was fine and that the fever he had last Sunday was gone.The pandemic continued to disrupt government operations in the Socckskargen region, forcing the closure of the Land Transportation Office after an employee tested positive for the virus.

The office of Macario Gonzaga, LTO regional director, issued a notice on the temporary closure of the LTO office at the village of Zone 4. “We are sad to inform you that one of our personnel tested positive for COVID-19,” the LTO advisory said.“This person has no history of travel and is now on strict quarantine and currently being monitored by the local medical teams,” the advisory added.
