Gov. Arthur Yap, in a statement, reveals that a person from barangay San Roque in Talibon, tests positive for coronavirus disease (Covid) following a report released by the Bohol polymerase chain reaction (PCR) laboratory.
The report was released on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2020.
The new case is considered a community transmission as the patient had no travel history. The patient is not a locally stranded individual (LSI) nor an overseas Filipino worker (OFW).
