Vice mayor to sick individuals: Don’t wait, seek medical attention
By Dominique Gabriel G. Bañaga

Bacolod City Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran yesterday said the City Health Office (CHO) has begun closely monitoring various ports and transport terminals in the city amid the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) threat. According to the city official, close attention is particularly being placed on Bacolod-Silay Airport.
“I’ve received information that, [on] some flights, it was noted the 50 percent of passengers are wearing masks, which is good prevention,” he said.
In the meantime, Familiaran said the public should not believe unconfirmed information on social media except advisories coming directly from the Department of Health.
The vice mayor also appealed for sick individuals not to wait and seek immediate medical attention. He also advised the public to practice proper hygiene as a preventive measure against nCoV.
“Don’t panic, if you feel sick immediately consult your doctor,” Familiaran added./DGB, WDJ
