The Bataan Inter-Agency Task Force on Covid-19 (IATF) on Wednesday reported that there are now 14 positive cases of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) in the province.

Governor Albert Garcia, also the IATF chair, said as per report of provincial health officer, Dr. Rosanna Buccahan, the youngest patient is a 13-year-old male from Barangay Dangcol here.

“The teenage boy was hospitalized Wednesday for appendicitis but was found positive of the virus when subjected to swabbing,” the governor said.

The IATF report showed that Balanga City registered the highest number of confirmed cases at six, including city administrator Rudy de Mesa who died in a Pampanga hospital last Friday. He was the first Covid-19 death in Bataan.
