Dr Leonell Quitos is the sole infectious diseases specialist in Iligan City, Northern Mindanao. At 33 years old, Quitos finds himself on the front lines to protect Iligan's more than 340,000 residents against the COVID-19 pandemic. After getting exposed to his 3rd COVID-19 patient, Quitos developed mild symptoms and was forced to undergo self-quarantine. He fears for his life and hopes he would be strong enough to see his 8-month-old baby grow up.
The patient eventually admitted he came from Pasig. He also went to Greenhills. So that’s when we opted to label him as a patient under investigation and transferred him to the Northern Mindanao Medical Center for testing, isolation, and management. He tested positive. I think he’s the first confirmed case in Mindanao. He is PH40.
