Cadiz Mayor Says More Housing Units Ready for Quarantine in City

Cadiz City Mayor Salvador Escalante said today the city’s quarantine center at the Yolanda typhoon victim relocation housing area in Barangay Tinampa-an is ready to take in about 85 more persons, saying about 50 are already there including returning OFWs and other Negrenses.

He said of the 300 units in the housing, they have prepared 135 for incoming Negrenses to be quarantined.

“The (Negros Occidental) Provincial Government has helped us improve the available 135 units, from lightings, beddings, toiletries, other necessary fixtures, to 1

water, ceiling and other improvements,” the Cadiz mayor said in a Bombo Radyo interview this morning.
This week, he said, he expects that about 35 will be released after their 14-day quarantine there.
There are a total of 300 housing units in the Tinampa-an housing area, but said it will require lots of resources to improve all the units to be able to accommodate more to be quarantined.
