Malacañang Palace spokesperson Harry Roque encourages the public to register in contact tracing app — Staysafe.ph — to help our frontliners in tracing individuals who were exposed to COVID-19 patients, and eventually hamper the transmission of the disease.
“Meron na po tayong mga programa para sa tracing, at nangunguna po rito ay ang DILG. We now have enabled a robust public-private partnership to develop a Nationwide Integrated Contact Tracing Process for COVID-19,” he said.
“Sa mga hindi nakakaalam, meron po tayong contract tracing app tulad ng staysafe.ph na nabuo sa tulong ng pribadong sektor upang mapabilis ang paghanap ng may sakit na COVID at yung mga tao na na-expose sa kanila,” he added.
Roque said that contact tracing is as important as testing. “Equally important po, itong tinatawag na Tracing. Kapag na test na po natin ang tao, at nag positibo sa COVID, kinakailangang magkaroon ng tracing para mahanap natin yung mga tao na na-expose sa kanya at dahil itong mga taong ito ay dapat ngang ma isolate,” he stated.
“Makakatulong rin ito sa ating mga health experts para po sa early detection at local forecasting,” he concluded.
