Mayor Sara Duterte here issued Executive Order No. 22 Saturday saying that the Swab Drive-Thru will be conducted from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for drivers as public ground transport and delivery services pose a significant risk to COVID-19 transmission.
She added that the “risk of infection is associated with sitting in proximity to an index case, duration of time aboard, inadequate ventilation, consequential recirculation of contaminated air especially in airconditioned public transport vehicles, the widespread use of potentially contaminated barriers to achieve social distancing and contaminated surfaces like handrails, doorknobs, seats, etc., and the countless number of possible infected passengers getting in and out of the vehicle.
