SAN ANTONIO, Zambales—Olongapo’s respite from COVID-19 deaths ended on Thursday (April 29) after a 92-year-old man became the city’s latest fatality.

 

The elderly man, a resident of Barangay Kalaklan, was also among new patients that day. The city’s COVID-19 death toll is now 64.

 

In an advisory, Olongapo Mayor Rolen Paulino Jr. said the man had no COVID-19 symptoms but suffered from hypertension, which experts said was among the cases of comorbidity that increases COVID-19 mortality.

 

The patient was found unresponsive at home on Wednesday (April 28) prompting his relatives to rush him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
