We will be looking back within and around their vicinity, increase or heighten surveillance for cases, and even look for the possible correlation between their locations and the community they are from so that we could get more surveillance samples
Yesterday, the DOH Region 7 reported that the PGC found two more transmissible strains of COVID-19 in Cebu. Saloma said both the E484K and N501Y were found in 31 out of 50 samples.
