He said that the Punong Barangay as health frontline workers can do so much to ensure that the mandatory health protocols are being complied by their constituents.

Aside from the compliance to health protocols, the barangay officials with the help of the Philippine National Police should likewise ensure that no super spreader events should be done in their communities.

He also emphasized the importance of COVID-19 vaccination with the detection of different variants in Western Visayas.

He also urged everyone to take responsibility for their actions, pointing out that if one is not feeling well, he or she must remain at home, isolate himself and inform the Barangay Health Response Team. 

Those who are going to work every day, but are not feeling well, must also refrain from going to work or office to avoid the possible spread of the virus in the office or workplaces.

He reiterated the call to follow the guidelines on super spreader events that no parties and even family gatherings are allowed when the attendees are from different households.
