LEGAZPI CITY – The Bicol Regional Task Force COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) and Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (RDRRMC) have decided not to allow a tugboat and barge with confirmed COVID-19 positive crew members to dock at a port in Albay.
Office of Civil Defense (OCD) regional director Claudio Yucot said they arrived at the decision during their coordination meeting on Monday to prevent the virus from spreading and ensure the safety of Bicolanos.
“Because of the decision of local government unit (LGU) Sto. Domingo, we were able to decide that the tugboat will be kept anchored at sea and the steam coal must be unloaded for it will cost environmental problems if not disembarked,” said Yucot.
