The Badian Rural Health Unit said that it was only a few hours since they released the patient, a 44-year-old man who arrived from Cebu City last May 6, from quarantine when the call from the Department of Health in Central Visayas came informing us that the patient tested positive of the virus.
“According to the BC 02 , he worked as a security guard. [On] May 05, 2020, in the afternoon, he went home to his boarding house at Mambaling, Cebu City only to find that his boarding house was locked so no one could enter, he decided to wait for the curfew to be lifted and go home instead here in Badian,” the RHU said.
During the interview with health personnel when he arrived in Badian, BC 02, allegedly denied having any COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, cough, colds, sore throat, and difficulty in breathing. “On May 8, 2020, after the arguments and his insistence to not be swabbed, he finally gave in and he was swabbed,” the RHU said.
“Around 2 p.m., we received a call informing us of the positive RT PCR result of Patient BC 02. We called the Provincial Health government and RESU for verification. Our Mayor, Chief of Police, and other members of the Municipal Inter-Agency Task Force were informed and the contact tracing team was activated again,” the RHU said.
