Sangguniang Panlalawigan Committee Chairman on Disaster Preparedness and Management and Relief Services Board Member Gary N. Pinzon along with the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) conducted an assessment visit in Luna, La Union today, July 24, 2021 to ensure safety of residents affected by landslides and floods brought about by Southwest Monsoon Rains.
Recognizing cleaning and decontamination as integral to infection control, the Naguilian District Hospital staff led by OIC Chief Dr. Eduardo Posadas conducted a general cleaning on July 17 and 24, 2021. This is to ensure that the hospital is maintaining a clean and healthy environment for the sake of patients and also its employees.
Keeping hospitals clean is crucial for patient-safety. Ideally, hospital environmental hygiene should follow the World Health Organization (WHO) model of โClean Care is Safer Care.โ

โDahil sa situation natin na mayroon nang Delta Variant, we have to prepare for worst case scenario. Our basic objective here is to strengthen our capacity in handling CoViD based on the PDITR Strategyโฆwe really need to prepare the best way we can,โ emphasized Gov. Emmanuel Francisco โPacoyโ R. Ortega III as he convened the Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU) Provincial Core Team Against CoViD-19 (PCTAC) on July 21, 2021 to step up its efforts and preparations to avoid the possible emergence of the Delta coronavirus variant in the province.
PCTAC provides proactive solutions by working with the Ilocos Training and Regional Medical Center (ITMC) to develop the initial CoViD-19 Delta Variant Action Plan. Moreover, the task force has identified key areas to concentrate on such as the assessment of equipment and manpower resources of hospitals across the province. Hospital beds and supplies are being prepared according to the contingency plan.
Gov. Pacoy also directed for the further improvement of contact tracing and the expansion of isolation facilities in partnership with component Local Government Units. At present, the La Union treatment facilities has 714 beds and there is still a need for at least 414 CoViD-19 beds and 38 ICU beds. Partnership with private sectors were also called upon. He also directed for the procurement of necessary supplies including additional oxygen tanks to meet the minimum requirement of 2,212 units.
Among the action plans presented were the establishment of Temporary Isolation Areas in borders; monitoring of minimum health standards ordinance and its compliance; further expansion of vaccination program; close monitoring of barangay lockdowns; and the increase of efficiency of contact tracers and CoViD-19 testing.
Other notable developments reported in the meeting were the receiving of 27,600 doses of Jannsen Vaccines in the province which only requires one dose for complete vaccination; the rollout of A4 Vaccination in High Risk Areas; the PGLUโs conduct of vaccination to outbound OFWs to address their needs for specific vaccines; and the possibility of a drive through vaccination is also being explored.
As of date, the Province of La Union remains to be CoViD-19 Variants-free; however, a sense of urgency is what Gov. Pacoy continues to emphasize during these crucial times. He emphasized the need to continue strengthening the provincial and local capacity and directed the committees to meet often to track accomplishments.
While vaccines remain the best line of defense, the Delta variant has been shown to have more impact on respiratory illness, causing more hospitalizations and death.
The PGLU urges every Kaprobinsiaan to remain vigilant and cautious at all times. The public is also advised to avoid super spreader events as we continue to ramp up our efforts to avoid the CoViD-19 virus.
Patuloy na nagsasagawa ng Demand Strategy Training of the Trainers ang Advocacy Demand Generation and Social Group Mobilization (ADGSM) group, CoViD-19 Vaccination Program Task Force (CVP-TF) ng Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU), upang sanayin ang mga Demand Generation Officerโs sa paggamit ng communication tools, upang mahikayat ang mga Kaprobinsiaan na magpabakuna kontra sa CoViD-19.
Muling tumungo ang ADGSM sa bayan ng Rosario, La Union, noong ika-21 ng Hulyo, 2021, upang matugunan ang ibang mga isyu ng mga Kaprobinsiaan tungkol sa pagbabakuna. Dinaluhan ito ng mga demand generations officers mula sa bayan ng Pugo, Rosario at Tubao. Ang mga demand generation officers ng bawat bayan ang siyang magsisilbing key partners ng PGLU sa paghahatid ng tamang impormasyon tungkol sa mga bakuna laban sa CoViD-19.
Gayundin, hinikayat ang mga demand generation officers na magsagawa ng mga epektibong kampanya sa pagbabakuna. Ang pagkakaroon ng kanilang sariling inisyatiba ay malaking susi upang mahikayat ang mga priority groups na mabukanahan laban sa CoViD-19.
Patuloy na nakikipagtulungan ang PGLU sa mga component LGUs para sa mas pinaigting na CoViD-19 Vaccine Operations ng probinsya. Naniniwala ang PGLU na kapag #BakunaMuna, makakamit natin ang herd community sa probinsya at mas mabibigyang proteksyon natin ang bawat Kaprobinsiaan laban sa CoViD-19.
