The deployment of additional personnel comes more than a month after contact tracing czar Benjamin Magalong said contact tracing in the Philippines was 'deteriorating'.

Contact tracing efforts in Metro Manila will get a needed boost as the government is expected to deploy over a thousand additional COVID-19 contact tracers to local government units in the first week of May, Interior Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya said on Monday, May 3.

That number is higher than the 4,754 contact tracers that the government committed to Metro Manila LGUs in April. The new batch of contact tracers will join the 2,381 personnel already deployed by DILG in Metro Manila for a six-month contract until June.“Kapag natapos ang tatlong buwan nilang kontra, posible naman pong ma-renew silaWhy this matters
