(Eagle News) — Bureau of Corrections Director-General Gerald Bantag has tested positive for COVID-19.
The confirmation came two days after the BuCor announced its spokesperson, Gabriel Chaclag, tested positive for the virus.
The bureau earlier said Chaclag’s results were based on a swab test he took on Tuesday, Sept. 15.
BuCor said Chaclag has been in quarantine since, and has been experiencing mild symptoms.
Earlier, two of Bantag’s close-in staff members also tested positive for COVID-19, prompting the director-general to undergo a swab test himself.
