(File photo) MANILA - The Quezon City government hired 350 additional contact tracers to better fight the Covid-19 surge, Mayor Joy Belmonte said on Thursday. Belmonte said the contact tracers, who were part of the Department of the Interior and Local Government's (DILG) contact tracing program, will be employed under the emergency employment program of the city's Public Emergency and Services Office (PESO). "The additional contact tracers were already part of our contact tracing army until December 31 of last year under contract with the DILG. But since we still need their services, especially during this surge, we hired them under our emergency employment program so as to continue the important task of contact tracing among many other responsibilities borne out of the rapid spread of Covid-19," Belmonte said in a statement. She also said 360 contact tracers from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) have also been rehired for 30 days more from Jan. 17 to Feb
