“We’ve long been under lockdown and we have to feed our people three meals a day,” said the nun over a radio interview Aug. 23.
Sister Evidente said the surge in COVID-19 cases in the facility this week could be traced to personnel who had to go out for medical check-up.
“Those who went to see their doctors, most of them turned out positive for COVID-19,” said the nun.
She said the rate of increase in cases was “quick,” unlike in April to June when COVID-19 cases were first reported in the facility.
The Philippines’ Department of Health reported a slight decrease in new COVID-19 cases Aug. 24, with 12,067 infections.
The relatively low tally was due to a lower laboratory output Aug. 22, said the health department.
