MARAWI CITY: The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) is running low on food supplies and medical equipment amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, according to a top regional official. “We are spending on medical, food and other supplies, besides building quarantine facilities,” he said. “But we are running short on food supplies as we have advised people to follow general quarantine rules. He said extensive measures were taken early to prevent a full-scale outbreak of the deadly disease in the Bangsamoro region. Apart from just the solitary medical facility, lack of testing kits is another major problem for the region, according to Ebrahim.
