Schlosser said they are already sending samples for genome sequencing to Manila for bio-surveillance and in time, Davaoeños will be briefed on the kind of variants dominating here in Davao City.

She said the city has prepared for the surge through swabbing, contact tracing, and quarantine.

“We have exerted our efforts by ten times more that why we do contact tracing, swabbing, isolation and quarantine, the beauty of faster management, to cut the infection,” Schlosser said.

She cited the need for the people in a certain area to be disciplined to control the influx of the COVID-19 infection.
