LEGAZPI CITY — The Department of Health (DOH) Bicol has stepped up its monitoring of Albay residents in temporary shelters to curb the spread of the viral disease after two evacuees in Daraga town tested positive for COVID-19 early this week. Dr. Ernie Vera, DOH regional director in Bicol, said in an online interview on Thursday that they were expecting a possible increase in the number of evacuees contracting diseases because of the crowded rooms and the extreme heat while Mayon Volcano remains on alert level 3.
