Nagpositibo sa COVID-19 ang walong vendors ng mga pampubliko at pribadong pamilihan sa Quezon City.
Saad ng QC government sa kanilang Facebook page, “549 vendors from four private and public markets in Quezon City were pool tested for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) following the local government’s second partnership with Project Ark.”
Ang 549 vendors umano ay mula sa Frisco, Tandang Sora, Philand Dr., at Balintawak Market.
Kaagad naman umanong isinugod sa community care facilities ang walong nagpostibo.
Ayon kay QC Mayor Joy Belmonte, 4,000 katao pa ang ite-test ng pamahalaan sa tulong pa rin ng Project ARK.
Aniya, “Our priority would be our non-medical frontliners such as market vendors, jeepney and tricycle drivers, and call center agents among others.
“These workers risk exposure to the highly-contagious virus while earning a living, and completing essential tasks that we might take for granted.”
