ANGELES City Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr. has reminded city residents to continue observing health protocols following the increase in the number of Covid-19 cases in some parts of the country.
The mayor called on disobedient people living in the city to follow the government’s minimum health standards to prevent the spread of the virus.
Lazatin stressed that the coronavirus pandemic is not yet over and the national government is now recording an average of 3,000 new Covid-19 cases per day.
“Sa kabila ng pagpapatupad ng siyudad sa mga itinakdang regulasyon ng pamahalaan laban sa Covid-19, marami pa rin po ang inuuna ang katigasan ng ulo. Hindi pa po tapos ang pandemya, may mga sinusunod pa rin po tayong patakaran,” the local chief executive said.
He urged his constituents to continue wearing face covers, social distancing and avoiding mass gatherings.
“Dapat pa rin po tayong magsuot ng face mask at face shields sa tuwing lumalabas ng bahay. Hindi pa rin po pwede ang mass gatherings. Panatiliin pa rin natin ang pagsunod sa social distancing,” Lazatin said.
“Kahit po paulit ulit po ang panawagan, hindi pa rin po ako magsasawa sa pagpapaalala. Disiplina at malasakit po sa kapwa ang ating pairalin upang masugpo na aang virus na ito,” he added.
The City Health Office recorded 26 new coronavirus cases on March 12, 2021.
These brought the total number of Covid-19 patients to 2,315.
Lazatin said some 1,963 patients had recovered and 128 died from the virus.
