Marikina City Mayor Marcy Teodoro assures that the 66 public market workers who were found to be 'reactive' in their rapid COVID-19 testing have been placed under quarantine

Metro Manila – Marikina City Mayor Marcy Teodoro has assured that the 66 public market workers who were found to be"reactive" in their rapid COVID-19 testing have been placed under quarantine.

Teodoro said some of the workers are under home quarantine, while others are confined in the city’s designated quarantine facilities. He said this is the reason why the workers were labeled for the meantime as “reactive” of the city government-led rapid testing among 2,000 tenants, vendors, workers, and helpers at the Marikina Public Market.With this finding, the mayor said the city is intensifying contact tracing efforts and coordinating with nearby local government units to contain the spread of COVID-19 in Marikina.

The rapid testing on Wednesday among Marikina Public Market workers was part of the city government’s enhanced targeted mass testing activities.
