Through the efforts of DILG Aurora, PD Ofelio A. Tactac, Jr., CESO V led a simulation activity on zoning containment that was participated by five contact tracing team members from the municipalities of Aurora on 9th of September at the DILG Aurora Provincial Office, Baler Aurora.

Initially, LGOO V Mary Joyce T. Bautista oriented the participants on the Zoning Containment. Zoning containment strategy aims to contain and prevent the spread of COVID-19 through the implementation of different levels of localized community quarantine in areas with suspect, probable, or confirmed cases.

Consequently, Gabriel Llave, MDRRMO-San Luis provided assistance on the Zoning Containment Simulation.
