New York consulate assures to prioritize voting ops after staff test positive for COVID-19

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Consulate General in New York said they suspended consular operations because some of their staff members have tested positive for COVID-19. 

“The reason we’re doing this is because a number of personnel of the consulate tested positive for COVID-19 so we want to apologize, we hope our kababayans that are affected by the suspension of our consular operations will understand,” Philippine Consul General Elmer Cato said in a mix of English and Filipino on Wednesday evening, Manila time.

The consulate announced Wednesday that its operations will be temporarily unavailable beginning today and will resume on Monday next week, April 25.
