LSIs in General Santos cry for help
Locally stranded individuals (LSIs) from Metro Manila who are now quarantined at a school in General Santos City are complaining about their current situation.
It is said that since July 8, when they arrived from Manila, their health has rarely been checked, according to a report by Darlene Cay in Unang Balita on Wednesday.
It is also said that the delivery of food was delayed, and they were together in an unobstructed classroom.
They have been swab tested twice but have not received results.
They have been quarantined for 21 days according to the data gathered by GMA News.
They are afraid of having a COVID-19, especially since other LSIs are coming from Metro Manila.
