MABALACAT CITY – Councilor Timothy Paul Llanos Dee has encouraged residents here to strictly follow the extended Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) to eradicate the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic which already infected more than 3,700.
“Stay home, keep safe, our local government unit is doing our best to keep everyone safe and healthy,” according to Dee, probably the only visible Mabalacat public official amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dee said at least 90 percent of Mabalacat City had already been disinfected. Dee has personally supervised the disinfection of the city working 24/7 to prevent the spread of the COVID-19. Only the streets where the trucks are incapable to pass remain to be disinfected, said Dee.
Dee said “backpackers” carrying disinfectants will visit the said streets to finish the entire disinfection operations in the city.
“Nasa 90 percent na ang nadisinfect natin sa city yung mga maliliit nalang na kalye ang hindi mapasok ng truck pero meron na tayong backpackers na pumupunta sa mga lugar na hindi mapasok ng trucks,” said Dee.
Dee said the sanitation team was also focusing on areas where there are PUMs and PUIs. “Yung team natin (sanitation) nagfofocus ngayon sa mga lugar na maraming PUMs at PUIs tsaka sa lugar na may nagpositive sa COVID-19, mga hospitals, terminal check points, groceries, tsaka public market,” said Dee.
“Ang priority ngayon nagtayo narin kami ng mga sanitation booths sa mga public markets,” said Dee.
Dee said majority of Mabalacat residents had already received their relief goods and said the city government is continuously packing and distributing relief goods to other barangays.
“Yung food packs majority naman nabigyan na yung mga nalagpasan ang binabalikan nila ngayon continuous ang pagdisistribute nila.”
Fourth week into the ECQ, most Kapampangans support the extension of the lockdown which is expected to be lifted on April 30.
