[Do you know why they do not want to take the rapid test? The Supreme Court, in coordination with the Philippine Red Cross, conducted the rapid test at its premises in Padre Faura, Taft Avenue in Manila. Court Administrator Jose Midas Marquez said judges from the National Capital Region underwent rapid testing. “The Judges went to the Supreme Court to have themselves rapid tested,” Marquez said, adding that for now, the focus is on NCR judges because the region is the epicenter of COVID-19 in the country. Peralta said only two or three of the Supreme Court employees have tested positive in the rapid test but they turned out negative after the confirmatory tests.
