Although Cagayan de Oro has the lowest at 15 Covid-19 cases, Moreno said the city government will continue with its best efforts to prevent the disease from further spreading even as he pointed out that local officials and residents should remain cautious.
He said until a cure is discovered, mass-produced, and made available to the public, everyone should not be complacent.
Moreno also called for more discipline even as he urged residents to observe public health safety rules like wearing of face masks, physical distancing, hand-washing, proper cough etiquette, and avoiding unnecessary outdoor activities. (Ian Fuentes of CIO)
