The Local Government Unit of Bacolod-Kalawi in Lanao del Sur in cooperation with its barangay local government units has installed washing areas in all Covid-19 monitoring tents located along the national road within the municipality in an effort to prevent local transmission of the pandemic.

Town Mayor Nora Lucman Dipatuan said washing areas in the following barangays have been completely installed:

1.) Barangay Bagoingud
2.) Barangay Orong
3.) Barangay Lama
4.) Barangay Poblacion I
5.) Barangay Ampao
6.) Barangay Rorowan
7.) Brgy. Gandamato
8.) Barangay Madanding

The rest of the barangays are on the process of installing and will soon join the list as well.

The washing station strengthens the goal of giving primacy to the welfare of the public in general through series of health measures applicable and deemed essential in these trying times.

“The public has to note and be aware that the 20 seconds and/or beyond of Proper Hand Washing Can Save Lives,” the lady mayor reminded. (RSP)
