The town's officials and the carrier merely had brief contact, and it is categorized as a third-degree exposure.

Mayor Vergito Factura of Talakag, Bukidnon province, confirmed to Rappler on Friday, July 23, that he and many others were quarantined the day before on Thursday – days after health authorities confirmed that the town had Northern Mindanao's 7th Delta variant case.He said the Department of Health in Northern Mindanao also took the virus carrier and nine members of her family to a quarantine facility in neighboring Cagayan de Oro City.

Only a bridge serves as a link between the city and Talakag, and it takes only about 30 minutes to drive from downtown Cagayan de Oro to the Talakag town proper.The Delta variant carrier, an overseas worker in her 30s, returned to the country from Kuwait last month and was given clearance to proceed to her Bukidnon hometown after undergoing a 10-day quarantine in Manila.

Briones said the event was organized on July 16 for the town's returning overseas workers so they could receive government aid. Factura said there were many returning overseas workers in the town that's why the aid had to be distributed in two batches that same day. This was to ensure social distancing and other health rules would be observed in the town hall.
