DAVAO CITY – Around 1,400 contact-tracers will be deployed in this city in a bid to hasten the detection of individuals infected with the highly infectious coronavirus disease (COVID-19). “We were given 1,400 contact-tracers from DILG (Department of the Interior and Local Government), and they will be trained to do contract-tracing so we can make it faster,” Mayor Sara Duterte said.
