ROXAS CITY, Capiz – The temporary closure of the Roxas City Prosecutors’ Office was prolonged until Friday, Oct 9, 2020.

This after one of its employees tested positive for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Based on the memorandum issued by City Prosecutor Erwin Ignacio, the Prosecutors Office was considered the “epicenter” of infections in the Hall of Justice.

Under the memorandum, precautionary measures should be strictly implemented for the welfare of the employees and the public

The Roxas City Hall of Justice was temporarily closed for two days after one of the employees tested positive for COVID-19.

In an Office Memorandum issued by Executive Judge Ignacio Alajar, the building will be disinfected on Oct 5 to 6.

“In line with the report that an employee of one of the offices in the hall of justice tested positive for COVID-19, you are hereby notified that the hall of justice will be closed for disinfection. This is a preventative measure to avert the spread of possible infection to the welfare and protection of the employees and the general public,” the memorandum said.
