According to Department of Health's (DOH) Bicol regional director said Ernie Vera, 306,691 are the number of people who could in the Bicol Region because of coronavirus.
After tallying all the data gathered from the LGUs in Bicol, there are more than 80,000 Bicolanos who returned to the province from Metro Manila after the immediate declaration of total lock down across Luzon.
And now, of them are considered as persons under monitoring or PUM while the region has already seven under investigation (PUI).
Dr. Vera also added that if the Bikolanos would not comply with the 14-day quarantine period, there will be high possibility that 14% or 858,737 out of 6,133,836 people in the population of the province will contract severe COVID-19 symptoms and 5% or 306,691 could die.
