Vico Sotto, nagpositibo sa COVID-19

vico-main-1636104044MANILA, Philippines — Na-isolate si Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto matapos magpositibo sa SARS-CoV-2, ang virus na nagdudulot ng COVID-19.

“Hi everyone, bad news, I’ve tested positive for covid-19. I have a sore throat, fever, and body aches, but please don’t worry!”ani Sotto sa isang Facebook announcement noong Sabado.

Gayunpaman, tiniyak ni Sotto na patuloy siyang magtatrabaho kahit nasa nakahiwalay sa susunod na pitong araw.

Pagkatapos ay binalaan ni Sotto ang publiko laban sa virus, partikular na ang Omicron variant, na pinangangambahang mas madaling mahawa kaysa sa Delta variant, na nagdulot din ng pagtaas ng mga impeksyon noong nakaraang taon.

“Talagang matindi ang pagkalat ng Omicron — gaya ng sinasabi ng ilang eksperto, LAHAT TAYO ay malantad sa variant na ito),” aniya sa kanyang post sa Filipino. “Kaya mag-ingat tayo palagi. Palakasin natin ang ating resistensya at maging responsable — kung mayroon kang mga sintomas, huwag lumabas.”

Nauna rito, nag-ulat ang Department of Health ng 39,004 na bagong impeksyon sa COVID-19, ang pinakamataas mula noong nagsimula ang pandemya, na nagdala sa caseload ng bansa sa 3,168,379.

Noong Sabado, ang mga aktibong kaso sa bansa ay nasa 280,813

In a previous report, netizens lauded Mayor Vico for his intensive effort in order to lead his constituents in preventing the spread of the new coronavirus. Some even hoped that other local officials would do the same in their jurisdictions.

However, there were those who did not like the plea of Mayor Vico to the national government. He asked that tricycles will still be allowed in Pasig amid the community quarantine in order to help the transportation of health workers.

One of those who opposed the plea of Mayor Vico was Department of Local and Interior Government (DILG) Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya. His statement was shared on the Facebook Page of Banat By with this caption: “Eto yung sinasabi ko eh. Kaya ng ibang lugar bakit eto si Mayor Sotto pabebe ang daming hanash? Bukas paguusapan natin ito. Papaliwanag ko kung bakit sablay ang pabebe ni Sotto. Pero ang appeal ko sa DILG bakit parang kayo pa ang nakikiusap sa Mayor? Apply the LAW and be strict parang walang PANDEMIC ah.”

Mocha Uson was bashed after she shared the post of Banat By and copied the caption. The name of the OWWA official became one of the top Twitter trends on Thursday because of this.
