Oriental Mindoro's first COVID-19 patient is a 1-year-old girl

Dolor said swabs taken from the baby from Barangay Ilaya in Calapan City were among the eight samples processed by the Department of Health.

The seven other swabs tested negative for the novel coronavirus, while the results for five other samples are still pending. The baby, who is 21 months old, was in Alabang in Muntinlupa City from March 5-12 before she was brought to the province. Dolor said he requested for a confirmatory test on the kid's sample, which the Department of Health accepted. Her guardians have also been tested for the disease, while contact tracing is being carried out by the provincial and city health office.

Oriental Mindoro, a province in southwestern Luzon, is part of the month-long enhanced community quarantine imposed by President Rodrigo Duterte to contain the spread of the virus, which has infected 707 people in the country and led to 45 deaths. So far, 28 patients have recovered.

History of travel, march 5.

She had a history of travel galing sa Alabang, and Pasay maybe nung pauwi. Nasa muntinlupa kasi yung ina. She got sick with dengue first then nito lang lumabas yung positive result ng test niya.

Young people are not exempted from Corona virus. Better off that everyone stays at home. 🏠🙏🏻

AndenCatherine omg! 🙏

😭😭😭😭

Now I'm pretty sure the Philippines really need mass testing

Oh my! Pano kaya nahawa? Hinde pa mobile ang 1 year old, so ibig sabihin nyan, carrier ng virus yung mga nasa paligid niya.
