— The province of Aurora, northeast of Manila, recorded its first coronavirus case – a woman who ended up in the capital town of Baler from Pasay City, local officials said Thursday.

She was then tested for COVID-19, and the results turned out positive on August 12. The municipal government said it already conducted contact tracing. In a statement, Aurora Governor Gerardo Noveras acknowledged the province’s first COVID-19 case, but said it will remain COVID-free in the Department of Health’s coronavirus tally.

[Translation: Based on the DOH policy, Aurora province will remain COVID-free in the DOH’s official tally because the confirmed case tested positive for the virus within 14 days of arriving here, which means she contracted the virus outside of the province.]
