"The RT PCR test were conducted right away to check their positive infection of the virus since they were exposed to CV 833 but it was negative after all," he said.
Galapon was referring to board member Eunice Galima-Gambol, tagged by health officials as CV 833 who publicly admitted her infection from the COVID-19 in her Facebook account and pleading for forgiveness among her earlier contacts.
