BACOLOD City – Two groups of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) that recently arrived here are now staying in a hotel and a tourist inn. They will spend the remaining period of their 14-day quarantine in these accommodation facilities. Their group is comprised of 27 OFWs, not 24 as initially reported. One was tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the rapid antibody-based diagnostic test (RDT) and remained isolated in the patient care center. “The process has been completed, the agreement has been signed,” he said. Meanwhile, the other group of 28 residents of this city was first brought to the facility in Graciano Lopez Elementary School. On Saturday, they were moved to a tourist inn on board the city government’s bus. Zeaphard Caelian, chief of the Provincial Disaster Management Program Division, said on Monday that Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson has signed an agreement with the OWWA to designate Go Hotel Bacolod as a quarantine area for returning OFWs who are residents of Negros Occidental. On Monday afternoon, 26 OFWs from various towns and cities in Negros Occidental were transferred to Go Hotel Bacolod after staying at the Provincial Healing Center in E.B.
