BANGUED, ABRA (April 17, 2020) — All three COVID-19 positive patients from Abra province have already recovered from the disease. Abra Governor Jocelyn
Bernos said that the two patients, AC2 and AC3 already tested negative of the COVID19 and are ready to be discharged from the Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center where they are confined.
The first COVID-19 patient of the province, AC1, also the first positive patient in the Cordillera region, has already completed his 14-day quarantine after recovering and having been sent home to Abra on April 2, 2020.
AC2 and AC3, are father and son from Sallapadan town, who are close relatives of AC1, the seafarer from Manabo town.
Valera-Bernos though vowed the will not put their guards down while promising “we will sustain our preventive measures and maintain how we are containing the infection.”
The lady governor maintained that travelling inbound Abra will still be restricted unless those exempted from such restrictions. “Pasensyahan na lang po,” she begged off amid continued criticisms on her “iron-fisted” handling on quarantine rules her province instituted against returning Abrenians from outside the province.
