DAVAO CITY –– Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte cut short her voluntary isolation that began Thursday (March 12) following an attendance at the Senate where she came in contact with persons who could be at risk for COVID-19 infection. The presidential daughter was listed as a Person Under Monitoring on Thursday after recognizing two potential risks of exposure to the virus. ADVERTISEMENTThe first risk was her meeting with Senator Sherwin Gatchalian—-also under home quarantine—-who interacted with a resource person in a Senate hearing. This makes Mayor Duterte also safe from COVID-19. While in quarantine, Duterte issued a guideline limiting the movement of people in Davao City to prevent the further spread of the virus.
