“With the detection of the new strain which appears to be more transmissible, we appeal to everyone to practice protocols and avoid social gatherings and be socially accountable and responsible for the safety of everyone,” Miravite said during the City Hall virtual press briefing.

The health official expects COVID-19 cases in the city to reach the over 4,000 mark after the holiday season when many disregard the protocols and attend parties and other gatherings despite the restrictions.
