Since the death of several at the Dumaguete City Hall, up to 5,000 nose swab tests are being administered to casual workers or employees. Results that come back positive COVID19, requires the same testing for family members. Since the locally approved laboratories have limited capabilities it would take a while for those nose swabbed to receive the results and tracing and swabbing of family members. One young city employee got his positive results Tuesday and his family started being nose swabbed Wednesday. shakey
How big is the work force here? I suspect much larger than 5k. This testing will have no measurable impact. They need to test everyone.
