10,000 to be contact traced as 2 Angel Locsin pantry patrons catch COVID-19

Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte said that 10,000 residents needed to be contact traced after two patrons of Angel Locsin's community pantry tested positive for COVID-19.

According to a 24 Oras report on Saturday, the 11-year old child of one of those who tested positive also tested positive for the disease, even though the child did not visit the community pantry.

The Quezon City government had urged all the residents who went to Angel Locsin's community pantry to undergo free COVID-19 testing.

Angel Locsin's representatives have yet to release a statement on the matter as of posting time. — Kaela Malig/DVM, GMA News
