Lubuagan, Kalinga―With the active cases of COVID-19 in the municipality lowered down to only one, Lubuagan Municipal Health Officer Dr. Caroline Agyao tells residents not to be complacent but rather be more disciplined in complying with health protocols specifically on the prohibition of social gathering this Christmas break.
