Aklan’s Provincial Health Office (PHO) resumed this week its Covid-19 mass testing for hotel workers in Boracay.
Dr. Cornelio Cuachon of the PHO said initial testing of 1,394 workers yielded 15 positive results. They were immediately transferred to a quarantine facility in Kalibo while contact tracing is ongoing.
The PHO tested the first batch of 1,400 on 26 to 29 December using the P10-million fund allocated by the Department of Tourism.
The mass testing was temporarily suspended to give way to mass testing of employees of the Kalibo International Airport during the first week of January.
As of Friday, Aklan has 576 positive with 20 deaths and 86 active infections.
