She said it is like walk-in for drive thru.

“The drive thru is good for cars but not for trisikads. We will consult first if tricycles and motorcycles are allowed to give way to middle class families,” she said.

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.

Schlosser said the more cooperative to the authorities with the compliance of the health protocols the more chances that infection is at the minimum.

She clarified that booster shots are now available in all vaccination hubs.

Schlosser bared that the booster vaccines available are Sinovac, Moderna and Astra Zeneca at the Crocodile Park.

“We are also waiting for Pfizer,” Schlosser said. (PIA XI-Joey Sem G. Dalumpines)
