Sa naturang pagsusuri, 1 percent o walong katao ang nagpositibo sa virus mula sa mga vendors sa Frisco, Tandang Sora, Philand Dr., at Balintawak Market. Ang mga ito ay agad na nailipat sa  community care facilities.

Pinasalamatan naman ni QC Mayor Joy Belmonte ang Project Ark, isang private sector initiative,  sa pakiki­pagtulungan sa LGU na maibsan ang pandemic sa lungsod.

“We appreciate the continuous support of  Project Ark in our battle against COVID-19. This initiative complements our testing efforts as we slowly gear towards revitalizing our economy,” dagdag ni Belmonte.

Ayon kay City Health Department (CHD) Chief Dr. Esperanza Arias ang pooled testing ay akma sa malalaking grupo . Anya ang  samples mula sa pooled tested individuals ay agad dinadala sa  laboratories  ng  Lung Center of the Philippines (LCP) at sa Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC).
