Drive through COVID-19 centers in Taguig City announced. Tests done in 23 barangays. It would be interesting to see the test results, since before that, all tests in Taguig City were done only in St Luke’s Medical Center in BGC.
It would be interesting to see how the numbers change after the tests done in barangays outside Fort Bonifacio are in. Without testing on a broader geographical area, the number of confirmed cases may biase towards the place where testing is available.
