LUCENA CITY — The municipal hall in the coastal town of General Luna in Quezon province has temporarily closed its doors Monday after some of its employees contracted the new coronavirus (COVID-19).
In a public advisory on social media early Monday, the local government announced the temporary suspension of all transactions at the town hall as it ordered all workers and employees not to report to work.
“Ito po ay matapos nating mabatid na mayroon po tayong ilang empleyado na nagpositibo sa Covid-19 (This is after we were informed that we have some employees who tested positive for COVID-19),” the local authorities said. The local government did not clarify how many of its employees got infected with the virus.
