MAASIN CITY, Oct. 23 (PIA) -- The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic rampaging in this city is contagious, infectious, but it is mild, and can even be fought back with a physical body shielded by a strong immune system, according to Dr. Francilisa Tan, city health officer.
To illustrate her point, Dr. Tan said there are families turning out positive in recent days, but there is one member that turned out negative of the virus after undergoing the RT-PCR tests.
Dr. Tan was speaking as a resource person in the family development session (FDS), a monthly activity of the Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program (4Ps) Wednesday, Oct. 21, using the media forum/Kapihan sa PIA portal carried through livestream feed at the PIA Southern Leyte FB Page, with replay at radio station DYDM on Friday.
Risa Basalio, 4Ps provincial link, and Michelle Sabandal, 4Ps grievance officer, had forged an arrangement with PIA Infocen Manager Erna Gorne for the monthly FDS to have an alternate venue so their members can still listen -- and watch if they have gadgets -- in order to avoid the face-to-face gathering with the current surge in the number of confirmed cases in the city.
Aside from Dr. Tan, the maiden FDS on-air and FB live streaming also had a parent leader, Eufemia Cupas of barangay Combado, as guest, with Basalio and Sabandal acting as hosts.
