The Capas municipal council on Friday convened an emergency session and passed a resolution objecting to the use of the Athletes’ Village by the returning OFWs, amid fears of contagion.

The resolution, approved by all 11 members, said allowing the use of the Athletes’ Village would “create a stigma and defeat the original intention of attracting investors in the area.”

Rodriguez said NCC was projected as an investment site and the DOH plan would scare away investors, adding that it would leave “a mark in the history that the [NCC] was used as a quarantine station.”READY FOR ISOLATION Filipinos from the Chinese city of Wuhan, ground zero of the novel coronavirus outbreak, are set to occupy the Athletes’ Village in New Clark City in Tarlac during their 14-day quarantine.

The movement of those in quarantine will be limited to the building where they are housed and they will be served packed meals, he added. “All the agencies of government are going to do everything possible to make sure that the [Filipinos] who are coming in will not come in contact with the community. The DOH and all other agencies are going to make all the necessary arrangements to make sure that there is no risk to the community,” Domingo said.Health Secretary Francisco Duque III earlier said the NCC facility would be refurbished to isolate the Filipinos from Wuhan.

Domingo said the authorities have identified all of the 441 people who had been in close contact with the Chinese couple who tested positive for the disease, including the one who died.
