Mayor Oscar “Oca” Malapitan has ordered the immediate closure of the printing shop where the fake result of the COVID-19 test was reported.
According to Caloocan Business Permits and Licensing Office (BPLO) head Atty. Emmanuel Vergara, Malapitan immediately ordered the closure of the said printing shop located in Maligaya Park, Barangay 177, Caloocan, just next to Maligaya Elementary School, Quezon City, after finding out that the business also does not have a business permit.
Mayor Oca assured that our City Government will cooperate in the ongoing investigation and complaints its owner may face, as well as in finding the man who allegedly produced the fake Covid-19 test result.
Malapitan warned about this illegal activity and urged the people to report such activities to the authorities.
“We are in a pandemic where we should work together. For the safety and welfare of all, may we not conduct such activities,” Mayor Oca said.
“If you experience symptoms or are exposed to a person who tested positive for Covid-19, you can call our hotline numbers posted on our Facebook page or contact your health center to receive appropriate medical attention immediately,” he added.
