Hopefully, in the coming days maka-increase na ta to 3,000 a day," he added. The city mayor said that despite the help from the barangay health workers, barangay nutrition scholars, and the community development volunteers, there is still a need for more volunteers to help sustain the city's vaccination rollout. Apart from that, Moreno also mentioned that he had instructed the City Health Office to make the operations of the city isolation units (CIUs) and temporary treatment and monitoring facilities (TTMFs) more efficient, as well as make the extraction of Covid-positive individuals faster as the number of positive cases continue to rise. "We need to do the extraction faster and more efficiently than what we're doing now. Nakasabot ko nga kung simbako mosaka pa, we will have to augment our TTMF and CIU," Moreno said.
