Passengers of Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) who possibly had direct contact with ticket sellers who tested positive for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are advised to monitor themselves for symptoms, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) said on Tuesday.

This, after the number of MRT-3 personnel infected with COVID-19 increased to 198, including ticket sellers from four stations, DOTr Undersecretary for Rails Timothy John Batan said in a virtual Laging Handa briefing.

“Ang advice sa atin ng DOH is to announce these stations upang yung mga pasahero na gumamit ng mga ticket sellers dito sa mga istasyon na ito ay mag-obserba ng sintomas at kung magkaroon ng sintomas ay pumunta sila sa kinauukulang health centers,” Batan said. The DOTr advised passengers who had direct contact with the infected personnel to “thoroughly observe their condition and undergo home quarantine” to prevent the further transmission of the virus.

Batan said this period may be shortened or extended, or until the management confirms a sufficient number of train personnel who will test negative and sustain limited operations.
