In\norder to strengthen the campaign with regards to the mandatory use of face\nmasks in public, one million surgical masks were donated by Metro Manila-based\nbusinessmen, Enrique Razon Jr. and Kim Wong. These masks will be distributed to\nthe barangays in Cebu City this Saturday so as to help in containing the\ncoronavirus disease that has affected the lives of many Cebuanos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aside\nfrom the one million surgical masks, the two businessmen also donated 2,000\nraincoats to the Philippine National Police for them to be protected this rainy\nseason while still implementing the health and safety protocols under the\nenhanced community quarantine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cebu\nCity councilors Raymund Alvin Garcia and Eduardo Rama Jr. will take the\ninitiative of distributing these surgical masks to the barangay captains of\nCebu City this Saturday, June 28. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The COVID-19 Inter-Agency Task Force for the\nManagement of Emerging Infectious Disease noted that many Cebuanos in the streets\nare observed to have not been wearing masks and not practicing social distance\nfrom each other. Secretary Michael Lloyd Dino, Presidential Assistant for the\nVisayas, believes that with these donated surgical masks, Cebuanos will no\nlonger need to go out without face masks since the barangays would be\nin-charged of supplying them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
