Good news mga kababayang Boakeno

Matapos ang isang zoom meeting na isinagawa ng mga department at section head ng Pamahaalang Bayan ng Boac  ngayong araw ng Linggo, Setyembre 13, 2020, ikasampu hanggang ikalabindalawa ng tanghali ay nais po naming ipabatid sa inyo ang mga kaganapan sa ating bayan.

Good news mga kababayan!!!!!

1. Lumabas na ng Isolation Facility ang dalawang unang kaso ng Covid 19 sa Bayan ng Boac nitong Sabado,  September 12,2020 nang matanggap ang resulta ng confirmatory test na negatibo n sa covid 19. Kapiling n nila ngayon ang kanilang pamilya.

Dahil dito ang IATF ng Boac ay naghahanda na upang alisin sa lock down ang Barangay Laylay at Balaring sa darating na September 15 matapos na makumpleto ang 14 day quarantine.

Ano pa ang good news?

2. Gayundin naman, nasa estado na rin ng paggaling ang dalawa nating kababayan sa Barangay Lupac na kasalukuyang nasa isolation facility sa ating probinsiya. Malakas na at ang kanilang katawan  at kinakitaan na ndi na nagpo progress ang covid 19 sa kanila. Sa mga susunod na araw ay maaari na nilang makapiling ang kanilang pamilya.

Isa pang Good News Mga kababayan !!!

Papagaling na rin ang ating Punong Bayan na hindi rin pinatawad ng covid 19. Siya ay nasa Manila katulad ng inyong napakinggan sa kaniyang pahayag kahapon sa Marinduque News Network. Ang kanya ring mga kasama sa bahay sa Boac ay pawang negatibo ang resulta sa swab test kaya pinagpasiyahan ng IATF na Hindi na isaailalim sa lock down ang Barangay Santol.

Wala po tayong dapat ipangamba. Tagubilin na lang po natin sa bawat isa ang ibayong pag iingat at hinihikayat na sundin ang mga itinakdang panuntunang pangkalusugan para sa proteksiyon nating lahat .
