On September 9, 2020, at his residence (no longer at the hotel) , the patient developed fever, cough and back pains thereafter, and was initially admitted for a few days at Siargao District Hospital. He was eventually referred to a private hospital in Surigao City where he was managed and treated. On September 18, 2020, patient had episodes of difficulty of breathing, hence transferred to Caraga Regional Hospital. He was swabbed for RT-PCR Testing on September 21, 2020. Prompt contact tracing of household contacts started last September 20, 2020. All of them are asymptomatic, in isolation, and being monitored for the development of signs and symptoms. Currently, DOH-CHD Caraga is expanding contact tracing to check for other possible contacts. This contact tracing includes his stay at the hotel.
We will also be informing our other guests who stayed with us from September 7-8, 2020 about this development.
Seventeen (17) days since the person was at the hotel, our staff has experienced no symptoms of fever or any other signs of Covid-19 infection such as cough, colds, difficulty of breathing, diarrhea, and loss of sense of taste or smell.
WE ASSURE YOU that the hotel strictly follows all DOH and DOT guidelines for mask wearing, social distancing including the use of face shields and plexiglass barriers and frequent hand disinfection. We also use sanitizers and compulsory body temperature checks at the entrance door. Our staff is fully trained to handle and contain infected individuals before referring them to proper government heath units.
Everyone is encouraged to self-monitor for symptoms such as fever, cough, colds, breathing difficulties, diarrhea, and loss of sense of taste or smell. If you have such symptoms, please report immediately to your nearest government health unit.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
